Pouring and Finishing a Concrete Slab
Wow! I think I finally found out how to fix my 75 year old wood floor. Thank you
Glad to help
I have gained an unbelievable amount of knowledge from you over the years and was so excited to see you post a video today!! I am grateful to have a chance to learn from you again!
He's back!
Can’t wait to see the finish!!!
Still making great videos! 🎉
Looks like a copper pipe to me, not galvanized steel.
It’s galvanized. All day
@@rbr266h Ok, thank you for correcting me! I guess the color or patina of the pipe or the lighting confused me.
Finding it so hard to just WORD what I need I have wooden floor But gaps are forming between the boards. Like…the sealant ? What is the sealant that I need?? If I type wooden floor sealant all I get is the wooden SURFACE sealant products and videos!🤦🏻♂️ What do I NEED please someone????
If you have gaps forming between your boards, your best bet is to use caulking to seal it up. Go to the tile ailse at your home depot or Lowe’s and look for a color that comes as close to your wood shade as possible, and caulk up the gap. Make sure you mask first, then apply the caulking so as not to make a mess.
@@rbr266h wear a mask before entering B&Q you mean? Why??
@@rbr266h this is such a massive job 🤦🏻♂️ My whole house is wooden floors Why are there gaps suddenly forming???? Who do I hire for such a job??? I cant do this sh*t man 🤦🏻♂️😡
I saw from other videos which use melted wax to fix which seems a bit easier. What's the benefit using the putty filler? I have a newish floor but have some chipped edges and holes due to movings, which method would you recommend?
Wax works really well for smaller repairs and gouges. If you have larger spots, the filler is more stable, and dries harder than wax. Wax is also more difficult to color match to existing floors, as the wax comes pre colored. Using a putty makes the color matching and blending easier.
Will this work in a small spot bleached floor?
Yes it will. It works on all sizes of repairs. I did this repair 8 years ago and it's still holding.
OMG thank you for your reply I bought all the stuff you mentioned didn't think you'll reply to me. Seriously thank you so much I could cry. You have saved me. @@rbr266h
This is fantastic. I have 100 year old wood floors and they're in desperate need for repair. They're my pride and joy. I look forward to repairing them and bringing them back to life.
You did a great video. Thanks. I finally won't ruin something when I try to fix it now. So many thanks.
Glad it helped!
what product do you use to clean it that wont damage the surface?
Any mild kitchen cleaner like Lysol Kitchen works fine. Finish is very durable and does not damage easily.
Thanks brother
thank you first time doing anything around the house and i started with the hardwood floors and this is the best video I've watched that isn't as difficult as most i watched. what products did you use please?
The part you're cleaning @3:00 comes off, prob a bunch of crap built up under it.
fantastic!
Not too rambling - just straight to the point! Thankyou
Great Video. I will check out this Elmers wood repair. I have a dent in my hardwood floor. Unfortunately its perpendicular to the grain direction and its a smooth dent due to moving a mattress carelessly. Its a long 4 feet shallow smooth dent. Will this 2 part adhere to this kind of smooth shallow dent?
Yes it will. Just prep your area well, and you will be fine
I ordered a butcher block from Home Depot and although the outside dimensions are perfect, I really wish it was thinner. It’s 1 1/2” thick and since I’m planning to use it as a fold down table, the weight is just more than I think the brackets can manage when folded down.
Have galvanized pipe but it’s right near a T joint do you have something for that? Thanks
Don't have anything for that. Sorry. You need a bit of room for the clamps to work. A fitting or joint really complicates it.
Great job matching the color.👍🏼
Very well done and on point
Directions on mine say not to reuse some components; be careful what you do reuse.
Hey, thanks for this great video! I have an old parkay floor with spaces between the wood everywhere, and i really fear insects could be hiding in the holes/cracks... Can I use this for that? and do I have to add the white glue to the mix since I was told filler wont work since my floor "moves" thanks again!
I would take my wood glue, mix in some sawdust and fill in those gaps.
@@rbr266h Okay, so the Elmer's damaged wood repair, you use in this video and mix in saw dust? No adding white-pva glue as mentioned in the comments below? How much saw dust do I mix in??? thanks for the quick response!
THKS
7 years later and your video is still helping people like me. Thanks for the informative video!
You are welcome! Glad it helped
@@rbr266h you should put links to the products you used to earn some $ in commission.
*Where are you located at?*
what if i use oil paint on top of drywall mud? i just have that stuff already and wouldn't need to go buy some more things.
Why not use mashed potato, then coffee to stain & bacon fat for a top coat?
@@kooale coz i can't be bothered making mashed potato but i have plenty of oil paint)))
I've used the Elmers wood repair kit for numerous things and it's great! Good video!
need help to take 4ust off galvanized pipe
Thank you for the video! Quick question though is that putty water proof?
It holds up extremely well to water. About as well as the hardwood will. Had this repair down for over 7 years now, and its still holding up really well.
@@rbr266h ok thank you for the information !
If there is a board around a crack that’s loose and bows slightly when stepping on it, will this method hold it in place, or will it break off again if stepping on the board too hard?
I would nail the loose board back down, and then try this repair. If the board is loose, it will crack the filler. A couple of nails, and you should be good. You can fill the nail holes with the same filler
I’ve used a piece of rubber and some hose clamps. Those seem to work too.
I believe he used a clean stick on the first can and then dunked the previously used stick into the next can …..
Nice 👍
Wow, way to make your ugly cabinets even uglier. And using drywall screws? make it even worse!
This is exactly what I need to fix a big place like this. 2 questions…1) I have a situation where a 1/2 inch strip of old pine flooring has pulled away. Is it better to glue that back and repair, or just remove it and patch as you’ve shown? We’ve tried to glue it before, but finally just put a rug over it! 2) what was in the spray bottle that you used to clean the floor prior to staining? Also, what is the best way to figure out the stain to buy for best match? Thank you!
Got lucky twice!
It's 2022 and this is still the best video I've found on this that I can actually DO! Thank you!
You are welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
Great job! Now do a test area with water-based polyurethane to make sure it adheres. If so you can get the buffing machine with a brown pad, possibly add some 5-in abrasive discs and 180 grit or higher. Buff the floor, clean the floor with a vacuum and wet towel. Let it dry. If you have any light spots do your stain method again. And apply two coats of finish. The floor won't look brand new sanded and finished. But it will look great and be protected for years to come.
Thank you. Had some damages with painters and this looks doable! What a relief!
Doesn't the cross-contamination cause problems?
Hi Russ, will DAP plastic wood work in this application for gouges that are about 1/4 to 1/2" wide and deep?
Yes it will!
Is it really worth all that work for a little chip?
Just a warning for all the wood repairs being done, Don't use the same scooper to get your portions out. You just activated the hardener by mixing the two scoopings together. Just FYI. Thanks for the video. I have a 10 in chip that came up from using blue tape on the floor. Hardwood not even engineered. Sometimes the world challenges you.
Do you know where I can find this repair kit?
@@tonibergquist61 Lowes ,home depot, amazon, true hardware. Elmers 2 part.
Thank you for this video!!! I have an old house in need of floor repairs . My floors look just like the “before” pictures. Looking forward to having the time to do these repairs!
I bought woodglut instructions once and now I have lifetime access to thousands of woodworking projects.
Thank you!!! I finished off most of the kitchen BUT was doing wall/electrical work around the countertop on one cabinet so I didn't fasten it down and... well.... the pandemic, etc.... I FINALLY finished the wall behind it... and could NOT remember how to attach the Ikea countertop to the cabinet. I knew it would be easy... It is Ikea... BUT I could not remember what I needed to do that... so instead of pulling out the drawers & crawling into the cabinet I thought quick look on RUclips... AND Viola!! your vid!! TY!! Now all I gotta do is find the brackets...they are probably tucked away under it somewhere...knowing me. Like with like. Fingers crossed. TY!! If not... I will just call Ikea for replacements. By the way, I just use cheap drug store mineral oil on mine. The old formula (from my grandad) for new butcher block is 1 coat a day for 1 week, I coat a week for a month, one coat a month for a year & 1coat a year after that. Looks gorgeous & stands up to about anything.
Thank you
Good video..and fyi..gas company in illinois use galvanized fittings 🤔
