This Blog is about how to accomplish a professional quality repair to a damaged area of an Oiled Wooden Floor.
In this case the floor in question was an Engineered Oak Strip floor, that had a quite bad black mark which had been made by over a period of time by the family pet.....a small dog...
The naughty pooch had marked out his area via a thick rug, and had made multiple deposits over a few weeks before the rug was lifted and the damage was revealed.
See the series of pictures below.
The first of these pictures show the damage quite clearly, the adjacent area needs to be masking taped off, then thoroughly sanded and properly prepared and Vacuumed, the oil, in this case Osmo Satin was sparingly applied with a Bona Oil cloth, and although the repaired area looked a little lighter than the surrounding area it blended in really well, certainly looked better than a black blotch that's for sure.
The sanding processes were carried out mainly with a Festool Rotex Detail Sander and sundry hand tools, we started with a 60 grit to remove the old residues, then an 80 grit, and finished off with a 120 grit.The masking tape was removed after the second coat of oil was applied.
Hope this helps....Thanks for reading.
