I am a nubie installing this tiger wood on an angle. It's been down about a month and I'm getting ready to finish is. Following are my questions.
1. With a wood that has so much variation should I use saw dust from the wood it self? mixing it with the sealer? Every thing is very tight and I feel I should not need very much filler at all. I am not staining and do not want a filler that really stands out because it not near the correct color.
2.Trying to apply the finish parallel with the angle I layed the floor, is that best or can I just work from one end to the other.
3. I saw a recent thread abouut sanding between the primer and bonna traffic can be done with a sanding pad on a pole like for dry wall and 120 Grit paper?
4. Is is better to sand between all coats?
5. What is the best applicator to use. Brand recomendations will help please. Other than bonna kemi or is it that much better?
6. I bought a video from bonna kemi showing how to sand an finish. Is that a good reference to use.
7. can anyone give more information on the U-sand units from homedepot.
8. Also the retangular buffing units would that be better than hand sanding?

Thanks
George K

Best method is to use a drum sander, edger, and a buffer. Just spot fill cracks and holes. But a couple different fillers for the different shades of wood
