The best way to apply Floor Finish to a wall?

[Mikey P]

I have a SaLteEo job coming up that will need the wainscoting "waxed" as well.


What sort of applicator works best and how do I avoid drip lines?

 

[Fon Johnson]

Wow, you mean really putting regular floor finish on it? Never thought I'd see the day you'd be doing that..

You will need to put it on really thin, and I would use a sponge. It will probably take many very thin coats. Just a hair to heavy and it will run. The solids will make it a challenge.

super

I have applied an enhancer to a travertine fountain from the bottom up to avoid the streaks. If it does run, it will be on top of a coated area and should be easy to wipe without leaving marks. Did it with a big grout sponge.

Mikey remember that new fangled 1/2 gallon pump up that you recently discovered. Spray on the wall wipe with a micro fiber towel and rinse the sprayer out between coats

Will high heat help dry the thin coats faster ?

 

[Tony Neville]

Would waxing the wall be easier or look better then lightly sanding and using wipe on polyurethane? I would not have thought to try and use wax.

I just need it to be as shiny as the floor.

It will look terrible in a few years and be near impossible to strip.

 

[Mikey P]

Why do you think it will look bad?

Not like anyone will be walking on it.

 

[Ron Lippold]

mikey spray it on wipe it off 4-5 coats and you be fine i do alot of windo sills this way

 

[steve frasier]

is it a smooth surface

wax on a micro fiber mop if it is

sponge if it isn't

 

[Greenie]

do u floor guys still use the term wax?

like a rug sucker and the word soap.

in a few years Mikey will be retired in the D.R., who cares about stripping it.

Thats no shit


Tell them you can re-finish the floor on such & such date they will ask when you will wax it
