New flawed flooring

8 years ago

We just covered this attic bedroom with pine floorboards and after filling gaps with a paste of sawdust and wood glue and sanding and staining the floor theres visible patches of darker wood glue thats so visible!

Anything we can do to save it?!

Thanks :)

Painting them is all I can think of, at least the gaps are filled.

http://houzz.com/photos/3642990 This link kind of demonstrates the use of mosaics and the mirror idea I thought may be cool. Obviously they are vertical but I think it would work either way. Any pics of your tiles? I have seen your other post and know your suite is 'traditional' but another thing to consider I guess is the cost of the mosaics. £££ using lots may mean a big dent in your budget.

Thank you both. The staircase does actually have a turn in it, near the top. And we are planning glass doors in the hall to the kitchen so you can see all the way from the front door out through to the garden! I'm not sure about opening up the playroom & family room. We would really value an 'adult' room at the front of the house for TV in the evenings, and somewhere to close off the kid's toys! We could also use the playroom as a 4th bedroom/guest room if necessary. Thanks again

I know exactly how you feel. I had a similar situation. The prospect of lifting the board and potentially raising the level made me wait. The wood darkened, and now I'm never fully sure where that board is. In fact, I forgot all about it till I saw this post. Wait a while. If it still bothers you in six months or a year maybe then consider lifting it. But I guarantee you won't, lol!

This is what I've been considering for flooring. I love parquet but am worried the pattern will make the house look smaller. I prefer warm tones. The paint colour is Shermin Williams Alpaca if that helps.

Ideally sanding back again would help. Alternatively find a dark woodstain that matches the fill to make the floorboards blend in.

Hi

Unfortunately it appears you "skipped " a step in the sanding process, ie you should have sanded again [ 80 and 100 grit] after applying filler, then applied stain.

Staining wood, especially pine, needs to be done by by book. Only remedy is sand off, buff with 120/150 grit and re apply stain

The excess wood glue needs to be sanded off so it only remains in the patched areas, then revarnish/oil/wax, whichever you used!

Could try just sanding the darker patches but might get a better result sanding it all again?

The floorboards are a really nice colour though, what did you use?
