This floor was recently sanded and refinished with this product that a pee puddle destroyed..

Is there a "patch" of sorts...?

After treating the urine and allowing dry time to pass, lightly sand that back. I’d use fine steel wool and care not to disturb the wood stain, only remove any blistered or flaked finish. Lightly abrade the area around it as well. Apply a coat to the raw area and when it is dry apply a coat to the whole area around it. Then use 220 grit to lightly abrade and blend the area to some reasonable size and apply a third coat to cover it all. It will be much shinier and newer but will blend back in within two months.

So, how many visits is that going to take?

with the goal being what?
to eliminate the staining or does it still stink?

boards can be replaced if that's what you mean by "patch"


what did they "sand" with?

..L.T.A.


they just had it sanded and refinished recently I assume with a 175 or whatever they use and they just want to make it far less noticeable but if it takes as many visits is all coastie is implying I'm probably just going to tell the dude how to do it himself

Surprised they don’t just call same refinishing company
After a complete remodel to the entire house I'm the only contractor that an OCD level of skill and commitment to a perfected job which these people greatly appreciated, even if things didn't come out a 101% perfect, they know I tried

It’s funny you should mention OCD. My first job tomorrow morning is driving 2 HRS to clean a cloak room in a church. Some disrespectful, transient BUMS broke into said church, and urinated, AND deficated in the church, but especially where the priest dresses.....
They want a professional result, of which, the resto company was 100% sure we were the ones to clean it... even though they were on site for 3 days last week.... with a TM might I add....
They told all involved, it’s worth the wait with the results we provide....

that happened "after" the refinish?
or before?

is this 3/4" T&G or manufactured with wood veneer top?

I don't know of any products you could pour on wood to make that disappear.
It has to be sanded out and refinished .

Here's the deal though, contingent on how long/how much urine has been dumped, you might have to sand 3/32" or more to get to clean wood with a resulting couple sf "dish/scallop" in that spot

if very minimal penetration, a half hour with palm finish sander and recoat might do it.


do you know if re-finishers applied a wood stain before spreading the aquacRap finish?
If so, you'll need some of the same brand and color

Any Hardwood guys think that product is not that durable?
Seems to take stains to quickly IMO after a 2week cure.

natural....that's a good thing then

should take a couple hours to attempt repair.
I'd use a palm finish sander with a few different grit discs ..80 up to 220gt

you'll know in a short while of sanding whether just a light sanding will get it, or you have to sand to china to get it out .
in which case, I'd let them know when/if they look across the room from a ways, a "dip" may be noticeable


we did an oak refinish last summer
One of the bedrooms had significant urine staining.
a drum sander w/36grit took most out, but not all...we'd of had sand off more than a 1/8" in the worst spots which would of taken hours to feather out sanding that deep.

The Landlord declined the addition cost (I had pre-qualified them before hand of the possibility ).... cause it wasn't my first rodeo

Today was the day.


My pic of the pee spot...

Full take down with 80 and 120..

I went on to a 220 patched a hold in the gap with some puddy and asked the guy to bring in the Bona finish and sure shit, all dried up..... derf....I asked him on the 1st phone call if there was enough to do the project....smh


Can't find anywhere local to buy it so now I get to go back after it comes from Amazon.


I forgot to take a pic of it all cleaned up with a nice feathur'd edge.



Damn thing was he requested an oil base be used but they send out the C team and the his knowing full with the C boys would have f'd up an Oil worse than they did this crap.



No Coastie, I didn't use your advice based on the fact that you don't watch my videos.


mEathed's advice made more sense since it was unstained wood.

For a recent refinish that floor is trashed and looks like it’s peaked and opened in multiple areas

Question for an unrelated project how would you wood professionals imagine this stuff will work outside at high elevation during the spring summer and fall over painted wood...IMG_20200430_065151.jpg

It will peel within a year.
I'm no expert and not familiar with that product but have never seen any polyurethane last very long.
I would stick with just the paint.

over painted wood

Deft makes top tier stuff

but why?
It may make the paint last a little longer, and can go over paint no problem, but don't think paint can go over urethane
.so when time to paint, you'll have more prep-work and need to cover urethane with bonding primer before painting again..or the paint won't stick worth a chit

is this for your cabin shutters and the other green(?) painted stuff?

what paint are you using now?
same as the $23 POS holster.....

if so, spend the dough for top quality paint like Sherwin Williams Duration or Emerald
Insist on contractor price, or wait for their 35% off "blue bucket" sales they have a few times a year.
Otherwise, you'll be paying $75+ a gallon for their best stuff instead of $40-$50 a gal
