How do you repaint hardwood floor paint with polyurethane.?

If you want to redo that floor you have to strip it first. The best way to strip is to sand off all the poly and the stain and start from bare wood. You can rent a sander at Lowe's or home depot.How do you repaint hardwood floor paint with polyurethane.?
this guy is partly right except if the wood floor has any wax or stains.


In my experience the was removers never get all the wax of.


I developed a technique where I keep a very sharp paint scraper handy to finely scrape areas where stubborn stains persist. You see sanding creates heat. Heat drives was and stains deeper into the wood.


I keep the paint scraper razor sharp with a fine papered portable


belt sander. This allows the scraper to take off layers of wood that are extremely thin. This solves the sanding/heta issue and is very easy to master.


After the floor is prepped, you can use either a large natural bristle brush or a compatible 'wienie' roller of the sponge type.


If a roller is used rool slowly and consistently.





Lastly, if you do not want a bunch of litttle debris in your finish, put fans on the floor as soon as the urethane is down. This will 'skin' the urethane with a dry skin so that after the floor is totally dry , you can simply wipe off any debris(and their will be debri) with a damp towel.
