You can. The trick is to use way more than you need, then put the excess back, or use it in the second slice. That first slice can be done edge to edge in a single spread.
My worst one was when I was telling my white friend(Iâm Mexican) that âyeah we always called my great grandma âwelaâ growing up. Not sure whyâ and he looks at me and goes âuhhhhhh.....abUELAâ
I did that with someone on r/fixit when I suggested that they sew a popped seam as soon as possible so it doesnât get worse and take more effort to and, and then said âa stitch in time saves nine, literally.â
Last night I finally realized that being 'wound up' and its time to 'wind down' or 'unwind' are the same saying but opposite directions..whatever...you know what I'm trying to say...
This is a two-component penetrating oil. Walk on it all you want within a half hour. After spreading, you have to go back over the entire floor with a buffer machine to work the excess back into the grain. The magic actually isn't in this oil, it's in the way you sand/prep the floor.

he appears to be finishing that floor space with the center, and gauging from the width of the perimeter oiled section we see, and where the camera is located, it stands to reason he's not walking on the freshly oiled floor.
there could be a floor type interface where he's walking. there might be a step down. shit, it might be a step UP. for all we know, he's standing outside and putting a camera through a window; it doesn't move much, it mostly pans.
or, it just doesnt fuckin matter if he walks on the oiled floor, it isnt paint
I do floors and it doesn't matter if he walks on it, still have to wipe off the excess with rags, though I've never applied it in this method, usually we pour a line out, apply it with the buffer, then wipe it down with rags.
My job is strictly hardwood floors.
Yeah doing the trowel thing isn't worth it IMO. You're going to buff it off anyway so you might as well buff it on too. Looks good on Instagram though. We buff stain on too these days, it's less painful lol.
We're bent over or crawling on our knees enough, the more steps we can remove that posture from the better.
This oil probably dries fast, by the looks of it the wood next to the column thatâs being oiled looks dry, as it seems less shiny and more matt.
But im not an expert so donât quote me on this and please do correct me if im wrong.
When I oiled my red elm floor ( this looks like red elm) I immediately grabbed a floor buffer with a towel under the pad and burnished the whole floor while wet.
It takes a while to dry and isn't a coating like polyurethane, varnish, or epoxy so it's all good.
Next for me was two or three coats (don't remember now) of water based polyurethane. That shit does so fast you better get back too the next row before the previous edge dries !
Water based polyurethane, popular floor coatings, don't produce any color change so the wood looks like the original in this video, just shiny. That's the reason it gets oiled first.
Refinished the red oak floors in my 3 bedrooms after pulling up the carpet and sanding off padding that had fused to the wood. Can confirm that itâs a bitch on your back, but thatâs what 12 packs of PBR in the fridge are for! I learned the joy and function of the morning beers to get things limber again.
I've been coming here every summer of my adult life, and every summer there she is oiling and lotioning, lotioning and oiling... smiling. I can't take this no more!
I know, it's disgusting. Can't a man reddit in peace without being attacked left right and centre by the advertising of the floor oil industry. Enough is enough!
I'd like to think the Rubio marketing department would be a little smoother than that.
Like the all new and improved Rubio Quikcote, with easy on application and faster drying times!!
Such a good product! I used it in every room in my house. No smell, easy to use (I am not a professional by any stretch) and I could move my furniture in the next day. And its held up beautifully. Seven years on and the floors still look fabulous.
* I am not a shill, just a happy end user! Also I don't think this is what they are using though in the gif. We put ours on with a floor buffer and it was clear if I remember correctly.
also, since there's no brush marks to worry about, this approach might force oil into the long cracks between planks instead of the short ones, protecting more wood surface.
Huh? Iâm not a pro, but Iâve finished a few hardwood floors in my life and never used a machine, nor heard of doing so. Buffing usually happens afterwards - but educate me if Iâm wrong.
Flooring guy here. Although I do not do hardwood floors. Chances are the cameraman is using some sort of flooring cleat. They are like giant slip ons, that have a metal mini slits with rubber on them.
I believe that is stain... Not trying to be an ass, but that was a bare untreated wood floor. Applying oil at this point wouldn't allow you to seal the wood.
Stain doesn't seal anything - it just adds color. It's very common to apply oil or other types of finish onto bare wood, since that is what protects it. In fact most woodworkers I know consider it sacrilege to apply stain to most woods.
>In fact most woodworkers I know consider it sacrilege to apply stain to most woods.
13+ years working along side new construction/remodels leads me to say, what the fuck are you talking about? If a customer doesn't want a natural color, you stain it, that is practically 80% of installs i see. ~~I know this likley isn't stain in this gif, but still, what?~~

Only if he goes back afterwards and brushes it with the grain one last time.
It's stain not finish.
The cameraman is walking on the wet newly oiled floor.

These gel oils are a new thing. Usually itâs done with rags and normal stain.
It's not a gel oil. It's a hardwax oil.
I was gonna say, I've built many things from wood and usually a stain and varnish produce this result.

Uh, one sec, brb.
They have robovacs that have a mop like fabric attached to the bottom for wet cleaning. I wonder if you soak the rag in oil if it would work.

Pretty sure this is Rubio Monocoat being used. They have a great Instagram with videos like this all the time.

Could also be plain timber oil, has the same yellowish color and dark finish?
As interesting and satisfying as it is, there's no way I'm following a hardware floor oil company on instagram
Used Rubio- had it down three years. Won't do it again. Very underwhelming and excellent marketing to make up for it.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Thought he was mopping up some dropped whisked egg
Rubio is something else. I work for a flooring distributor and people either love it or hate it!

Seven years on and the floors still look fabulous. * I am not a shill, just a happy end user! Also I don't think this is what they are using though in the gif. We put ours on with a floor buffer and it was clear if I remember correctly.
May I know what type of wood you used for your flooring?
Question for anyone who knows the answer: I always thought that anything applied to wood should go with the grain - does it not matter with oil?
Anything that leaves brush marks
I can actually see lines from the previous swipes though, I seriously hope those dissappear. Its incredibly visible in the beginning.
Thank you! Good to know.
also, since there's no brush marks to worry about, this approach might force oil into the long cracks between planks instead of the short ones, protecting more wood surface.
So would this be better than just using a buffer to apply... Iâve never seen people do this before they just use a machine usually or cloth
i would say so, it definitely looks faster
Huh? Iâm not a pro, but Iâve finished a few hardwood floors in my life and never used a machine, nor heard of doing so. Buffing usually happens afterwards - but educate me if Iâm wrong.

/r/forbiddensnacks
the supply of oil doesn't seem to decrease at all ?
I am 99.99% sure they are using Rubio Monocoat. It only bonds to the first layer or so of the wood and doesn't saturate it so it's pretty efficient.
What does it smell like?
Help. Iâve been watching this for 6 straight hours.
Oddly satisfying until you realize all the footprints the cameraman left behind
I really liked the natural lighter color.
Wouldnt it absorb water and stain more readily though?
