The Church hall in Bar Hill received a sanding and oiling last week,
just in time to welcome worshippers for the most holy of Christian
celebrations - Christmas.
It took some work, there
were two coats of sealer used - firstly an oil-based sealer followed by a
water-based sealer. As we all know - oil and water don't mix and this
meant that the layers had begun to flake (see first 2 images).
Oil-based sealer followed by water-based sealer = flaking!
You can see the patchy effect of the flaking
After sanding the wooden floor back we were left with a beautiful 5 finger parquet floor to seal
Using
Pullmanns Magic Oil to seal and protect the floor, the woods natural beauty began to shine through
Paul
is using the blade oiling technique to distribute the oil. This needs
to be done quickly so that it doesn't have time to dry - else layering
will occur which will give an uneven finish.
Nathan is buffing the floor to work in the oil and remove excess.
The
parquet floor looked stunning afterwards. Unfortunately the pictures
don't quite do it justice, however we know the congregation at Bar Hill
Church will be very pleased with the superb results.
No more flaky floor
