[Build] Flooring finishes

[John Magolske]

Was digging through the archives for flooring history (see # 5 & 6 in
the forwarded email below) as miloh sent in his post. Did we end up
using the "bonaseal" sealer + "mega finish water-based satin finish
coat"? Also, not sure if this came up in recent discussions:

Anyhow, good luck with the new floor...wish I could be there to help
out this time.

Ok, I've just gotten back from a few hours getting supplies and 
sanders.  Here is my plan as explained to me by robin at pacific floor 
supply as well as some tips from the hertz equip rentals place:

1) belt sand floor with 40 grit belts.  Go with the wood grain/planking, 
be moving before I engage the belt, one pass might do it, maybe two.

2) vacuum the floor again

3) apply the full trowel filler, of which I have 3.5 gallons in 
something that should go with a "white oak".  Should this not match, I 
can return it for the red oak.  I have two trowels, and the plan is to 
slop it in the floor then smooth it with the trowel.  This will need to 
set overnight, possibly as long as 24 hours.

4) once dry, re-sand with a 80-120 grit, and vacuum again. 

5) Apply one coat of "bonaseal" sealer.  The one gallon I have of this 
should be enough for our test patch and then some.  I have a synthetic 
wool applicator that I will need to store wet in order to be able to use 
again.  This will take 2-3 hours to dry

6) Next is the mega finish water based satin finish coat.  I'll need to 
apply this, let it dry 2-3 hours then lightly abraid the surface (like 
with a scrubber on the back of a sponge) before applying the final coat.

I believe I can get up to step 5 by tomorrow evening.  I'm going to 
start this process in about 20 minutes, once I bike back to 2169.
