Putty filling during floor sanding
Spent the NSW long weekend sanding my 5 BR + hallway house. It was pretty much 3 x 14hr days (I'm knackered). Didn't help the hired drum sander crapped out 2 hours in - mad rush around I was luckily able to get another one.
A couple of questions:
- I used Timbermate to fill holes/nail holes. IT TAKES FREAKIN AGES - to even do one room (minimum 1hr plus). Am I slow or is this normal? I can't imagine the pro's taking this long on a job to putty up....
- When putting the putty down, I just used my finger to push it in the holes. I found the putty knife the tub recommends didn't work as it just lifted the putty back out. Again - doing it wrong and if so what's right?
Looking forwards to a big AHA when you guys tell me the easy way
btw - I only filled one room's nail holes. Decided the time wasn't worth it and they don't look that bad on the Murray Pine (which is full of "character" anyway).
