Product Information

Now you can apply your next coat of finish in the same way as you did before, wait for it to full dry again.

I saw that denibbing is recommended with fiddes hardwax oil, how do you do this for a large area such as a floor? As I haven't done this before I presume that you just run a cloth or pad of sorts over the finish gently to give the silky smooth finish?

Lots of professional finishers de-nib with just a coarse rag like Hessian, or use a bit of scrunched up brown paper. In other words use the Abranet 120 grit to gently denib the initial coat and any other coats then apply say a 600 grit after the final coat for the better finish?

I don't know why I am answering a thread on Finishing, my Finishing usually leaves a lot to be desired!

If you’ve used a finish that seals the wood like varnish, lacquer, shellac or polyurethane for example, I’d recommend spraying on a bit of water both to the project and to the abrasive paper and wet sanding – this forms a slurry on the surface and helps keep things smooth and removes any particles a little easier.You don't need to go over the same area any more than once or twice, it should feel smooth after one or two light passes.

The Finishing Pad should also be used when you have applied your last coat of finish to finish the job off feeling extra smooth.These are a 30mm abrasive veclro backed sanding block, ideal for removing small imperfections from paintwork when you need to do a small localised repair, such as a localised deep scratch or flattening back paint after a stone chip repair.

I tried to resolve issue,and said send another 4oz tin of paint,They didn't want to do that so I opened up case to send items back for refund. Can a Floor Sander Drum be used with a fine grain or would this be too heavy handed and strip the finish? Wood is a naturally porous material, and when you put oils on wood, they soak in, giving excellent liquid repellency and protection while still maintaining a natural look and feel. Starting with the obvious reason and that is to get your finish as smooth and professional looking and feeling as possible.Also I presume I would need to get a sanding block for the Abranet pads too as I currently just have a sander and nothing to do hand sanding with apart from my hands. Feel the rough surface, wipe across with the abrasive, feel the surface again, and if it's smooth, stop. You can use a high grit abrasive paper like 240, 320, 400, 500, 600 grit – it doesn’t really matter - any of those will do the job – if you use a lower grit like 240 you’ll do a little bit less work but your finish will be less smooth, if you use a higher 600 grit you’ll do a little more work but have smoother finish.
