Hi,
I am hoping to start sanding the upstairs floors in a 1940's house this week. We have pulled off the carpet and the condition of the floors is medium to good in parts. There are what i assume to be glue marks along the walls from carpets.
Basically, a friend has given us a hand sander and there is a rental shopo nearby to rent the industrial sander but I am looking for advice on the best procedure from people who have already done this?
ie. How to begin sanding, how long will it take, best varnish, how many coats, can we remove all stains etc?
thanks,
