Filling holes, gaps and replacing boards
Hi again everyone,
A couple of questions you may be able to help with.
1)Apparently (from a previous post) I have Cypress pine flooring that was originally stained around the outside of what looks like a permenant rug in the middle of the room. Will that stain sand out? or will the sander fall through the floor before its all gone. The problem will be that the middle of the room was never stained so I'm not sure if i will get it back to uniform colour!
2)At what stage is a hole or crack too big to fill, i noticed from some pics on here that you shouldnt be affraid to use too much...however i thik the state of my floor will mean i have a polished filler floor with the occasional pit of cypress here and there.
3)What is the best filler for cypress? can you adjust how dark or light it gets when its dry? Should i put it between the boards where they have shrunk a little and should i put it in before i sand?
4)is cypress easy enough to find to replace boards and will a new board stand out like the proverbial dogs b***s?
sorry for all the questions...but i really am new to this!
ill put some pics up later this arvo if any of this is unclear
