Coats of varnish applied: 1. Time spent: 2 hrs. Method: roller on a long handle. Varnish used: 5 liters. Liters remaining: 19. Result: very nice. Today: coat 2.
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.

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
ReplyDeleteOnly two hours, I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful.
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.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, 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.
Looks splendid ... a full strike for Walt! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! At this rate, you'll be finished and furnished by next weekend.

ReplyDeleteDid you have to sand the first coat a bit (then vacuum and clean) before applying the second coat?
Gorgeous! What lovely wood! The room is so inviting :))

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

Wow, you've done a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteBravo, c'est superbe ! Un vrai parquet de... danse, lol !!! Bises :-) Mary/Marie from Normandy, France
ReplyDeleteYes, Marie, it does look like a dance floor. Maybe we should invite friends and neighbors and do some line dancing.
