Paper bag flooring?

[AndyK]

I have seen where people have done this before and wonder if any of you have done anything like this for yourself or for a customer? Or is usually only a DIY project?

I find this concept interesting.

I saw a video on it years ago , The link below will show you how it is done .

That is one pricey floor. Urethane isn't cheap. And she is talking 5 or 6 coats after the initial coat to put it down. I wonder how many gallons it took to do what we saw?

Depends on how heavy the coats are Daris .

When i did the Bowling Alleys it use to take a gal and half to do a lane .
40 " x 90' The finish we used back in those days was $189.00 a gal.

But if you notice she is spreading the first coat with her hands. I've used water based urethane before but put it on with a sprayer. Tried a brush but it dried to fast couldn't get it even.

I noticed she was brushing it back and forth to. A good way to get air bubbles in Urethane .

You can get red bags too.
