Sanding Floors Withou Pulling Baseboards

Is it difficult to paint over the finish if it gets on baseboards.

Sanding floors withou pulling baseboards.

So i started thinking about how i could beef up the baseboards another way. The floors are higher than the carpet so the bottom of the base was way down under the flooring hope that makes sense basically i couldn t have done it without damaging the floors. Three bedrooms a dining room and large living room. And they look much nicer with the flooring without clashing with it.

I don t recommend this product for every makeover project but when you have something small like this that needs a quick little update this is perfect. The floors are about 60 yrs old. I m preparing to refinish the hardwood floors in my home. 60 to 100 grit is good for initial sanding.

If you re going to install baseboards before installing the floor you have to make sure you have the proper gap to allow the flooring to get tucked under the baseboards. A flexible sanding block made with a rubber or foam core conforms exactly to the contours of baseboard molding. This is the exact time i d use a product like this instead of sanding and stripping down the wood. I was originally planning on just using a hand held belt sander around the baseboards possibly just pulling up and replacing the quarter rounds but i ve had a lot of people tell me to pull up the baseboards and sand the whole way to the plaster drywall.

The quarter round in this case referred to as base shoe has no purpose other than to conceal the joint between the base and the floor. 2 we sleep on a bed without a frame it goes directly on the hardwood floor. A step by step video for a home owner on how to use various wood floor sanders and how to apply the finish. So after the floors were laid it was going to be impossible to get the old out.

Sometimes paint from previous paint jobs will get spattered on the baseboards. This should seem obvious but well if you make the gap under the baseboards too small for the flooring to fit then a hammer and a wonder bar might be. Do a light sanding with 220 grit and or scour pad scouring to degloss and re surface the old finish. It has to come off.

We had tape on the baseboards during sanding and staining but it got all messed up so we will have to take it off and vacuum before refinishing. Wrap a flat sanding block with medium grit sandpaper for flat areas of the baseboard. I m baffled that a flooring re finisher would suggest otherwise.
