I've worked in 5+ houses where Rubio Monocoat was used on the wood floors in the last eight years or so. I've seen thousands of square feet of it applied. It's tough, I return to properties for work and am always impressed with it's the durability over time. It touches up like a dream, you can actually just do spots and not have it flash like mad. Almost all my daily work is finishing, so I've always been about the 'tried and true'. Rubio has impressed me and has attained that status in my book. I was surprised to see so many woodworkers on YT using it, not sure why. Guess I thought it was a floor thing. My only complaint is sometimes open grain woods don't always fill enough to keep stuff from getting in the vessel elements and having to be sanded out. Waah.

For floors where we want to shine up the Rubio, we double coat it and let the second coat dry for an hour or so, then come back with a white buffer pad and hit the whole thing with that. Polishes it up and you don’t lose the ability to touch up or recoat later.

Rubio tip - How to determine how much to mix up ? No one seems to mention this in videos and it’s critical to not wasting it due to cost (as you did mention). I’ve seen amounts needed such as 1floz (~30mL) per ~6.5sqft while others say to use 3.25-3.50mL/sqft. That’s total volumes for the 3:1 mixture.

@@coppulor6500 you can start wherever you like, it just depends on how much material you want to remove. You wont remove a lot with higher grits.. they are too smooth. So it may take very long and cost a lot in sandpaper to remove a lot of material. As for the "why", it's because following this rule will ensure that you're able to remove the previous grit's scratches. Just go in opposite directions until the previous grit's scratches are gone. Then you keep moving up to desired grit for smoothness.

Another new convert to Rubio here. We just finished some walnut floating shelves with it today. Bought an extra because we didn't think the tiny little can could handle 100 bdft. Took less than two hours, the finish looks so clean and professional, unbelievably easy and fast. And that was in a 50° garage. AND, we didn't even use one 350ml can combo, still have about 1/5th left. When they say a little bit goes a loooooooong way, they aren't kidding. Sorry I sound like a shill here, but it really is that good, just blown away how much better it is than the poly we've been using at basically every concievable angle. Not going to be spending a day+ putting on half a dozen coats of stinking, running, lapping, dust-spotting poly that takes forever especially in cold weather. $60 for the tiny can may seem ludicrous if you're used to 4x the amount for 4x less price of regular varnish, but I'll say the quality and speed of the finish is actually a much better value than fighting multiple coats to make poly look good. Thanks Bourbon Moth for the heads up. That ends my commercial, I guess. Hemmed and hawwed over trying it because it seemed too good to be true- nope, wish I tried this stuff years ago. One of those rare products where it's not just marketing BS, it is everything they say.

Not knocking anyone’s work style - you are obviously a lot more prolific and successful than me - but I don’t sand pieces. After planing smooth and flat, I just set my plane to take a feathery stroke off on the final pass and the piece is like glass, no dust, and wide open pores that soak up my waxes and buff like patent leather. I understand some people who do this professionally (unlike me) just don’t have the time to hand plane every board before assembly with deadlines etc., but in principle, I disagree with the notion that sanding is some necessary evil. I’d bet the time isn’t actually all that different between working through sandpaper grits and hand planing. Plus my risk of COPD is way less without all of that dust in the air.

Scribbling a pattern over the board with a pencil makes sure you don't go too fast and makes it easy to stay on track if you start to drift off with whatever you might be listening to. Cleaning between sanding is a great idea. Also the cleaner is similar to mineral spirits, but definitely use a cleaner, it makes a big difference. And let's you see if you've missed anything with sanding. Don't skimp on the hardner...cure time with hardener was 7 days to full cure, maybe it's gotten faster. But it's not linear, at 2 or 3 days it's almost 75% or more and can be easily handled. Without the hardener is literally weeks according to Rubio. use the syringes for sure, it's an amazing method. Allows you to mix only what you need and then mix a tiny bit more if needed.
