  1. Wow! It's looking better and better everyday. Keep up the good work. It's easy for me to say since I don't have to do it. LOL

  3. Walt put the second coat down this morning. It took him just over an hour. The wood didn't drink this coat the way it drank up the first one.

    Tomorrow, I'm going to go around the edges of the room with a brush and some polyurethane to get the places that couldn't be reached with the roller.

    Did you have to sand the first coat a bit (then vacuum and clean) before applying the second coat?

  9. TB, no, we didn't sand between coats. Since the first coat was almost entirely absorbed into the wood... On the tin of vitrificateur, it says: « Pour un rendu parfait, poncer légèrement au papier fin (320) entre les couches. » I guess we won't have a « rendu parfait »! We are not such perfectionists.

    Judy, look at this site and you'll see the term « lingettes dépoussiérantes » for tack cloth.

  12. Ken, yet another instance of the Quebeckers and the Frenchies having their own terms :) I wonder what the Brits call tack cloth?

  15. Yes, Marie, it does look like a dance floor. Maybe we should invite friends and neighbors and do some line dancing.
