Getting all set up to tackle this bitch of a job
This glue is a thick, black tar like substance.
Along with removing glue we also effect some repairs to the Tasmanian Oak boards
The sandpaper we're using here was a super coarse 24 grit paper
It's a combination of sanding, using kerosene and scraping away that makes it all happen
Once the bulk of it is sanded away we can start to see just how good the floor boards are
With the bulk of the glue gone we can now get 'Big Bertha' into the game
With a bit more kero and 24 grit on Bertha the rest of the glue gets sanded off.
See - brand new looking floor boards that have been protected by the glue all their lives
With all the glue gone and the Tasmanian Oak fine sanded we fill the nail holes....
The first coat of the 2pac polyurethane is being rolled on
The coatings make the grain in the Tasmanian Oak boards pop
It's pretty hard to believe that we started with a floor covered in glue. Amazing, huh!
The whole floor all came together as one, without a trace of it's ugly past
This here iS the final coat of 2pac polyurethane as it was applied
