Passive Wood Floor Restoration and Repair
September 28 - October 1, 2011 |
This is an intense, four day, hands-on, learn-by-doing opportunity. This class is not about aggressively drum sanding wood floors so they look new. Much like fine antiques we want to keep the character defining features and patina of the flooring. You will be working side-by-side with instructor Bob Yapp restoring an oak, tongue and grooved floor in a building at The Campbell Center. Students will learn how to patch bad areas so they don’t look patched, passively remove the damaged old finish, remove water and pet stains as well as how to apply a finish. At the end of the four days students will know from beginning to end, how to repair & passively restore any hardwood or softwood tongue & grooved strip floor. Students of all skill levels are encouraged to enroll. Bring work clothes, knee pads and safety glasses.
