Hi,
I had a go at sanding my parquet floor this weekend. Following recommendations from previous threads, i hired myself a Trio sander and went through the grit levels, 40, 80, 120.
The problem is that the entire floor now looks like a zebra. My guess is that where there is a gap between each of the underlying floorboards, over time it has warped the parquet sitting on top. I can see the visible "ripples" across the floor. The sander was probably sanding down the ridges but not the troughs.
So, how to get it all to one colour so i can varnish it?
