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.

@graduallywizardly Жыл бұрын

LOVE the floor sander buffing pad idea, man. For rags, I use old bed sheets from a charity shop. They usually have a hard time getting rid of them. On my last rags mission, they filled up a garbage bag with random sheets and through in a little Spiderman toy for my boy and charged me $5. Hack up the sheets and you’ve got rags for years.

I took an old rocking chair and started sanding it down and though I never really cared for that stain you use because I thought it was too late, I see that it would work perfectly on this chair.

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.

@archael18 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

@vittocrazi Жыл бұрын

@@coppulor6500 higher grit eats more material, and thus its helpful at removing saw marks, small scratches, removing dust, ash and whatnot that could be trapped inside the pores of the woods. tone down or remove fungal marks if you are working wilder wood, stains of paint, oil or glue that could have penetrated the fibers. in short, low grit homogenizes wood.

Tuck Tape... used for sealing rigid foam board and sheathing, usually for wall insulation installs. Think of it as the multi-purpose duct tape version of packing tape. The stuff is great and sticks to everything, but can be peeled off with some effort. It is specifically recommended for epoxy applications as well (mold release). I always have a couple rolls on hand.

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.
