Last weekend I sanded out and stained a 100+ year old straight grain Fir fl oor in a room about 12 x 12. I have some water based satin poly to lay down this weekend. Everything I read says use a pad. At Home Depot the best I c ould find was a 7" wide pad with a holder than can be attached to a typical roller pole. It has foam as a base like a typical foam brush which is cove red by about 1\4" thick pad of a micro fiber type material.
Anyone have experience doing this? Does this sound like the right equipment ?
It says can be recoated in 2 hours but no more than 2 coats a day. I am fig uring 2 coats on Saturday and another one or two on Sunday but I think I ne ed to scuff it before the Sunday coats which I am not looking forward to. P robably have to do that on my knees although I thought maybe using my drywa ll pole sander if I can find a fine enough grit.
