I just started in this room on Friday ... I should have finished pix by this friday or Monday. No major color change coming ... trim will be lighter and walls will be about the same.

BTW...shouldn't you have your materials sitting on a drop instead of that nice hardwood floor?

My first thought also.

Nice pad! I assume the materials were being packed in, or in transition from one area to another, so you're OK with me. :thumbsup:

Floors were getting refinished .... Actually they are now ... I will get a couple of pix. The floors are covered with rosin paper now.

Those pix were taken before the floor sanders kicked me out.

I walked into a house once with newly finished floors and rejoiced seeing red rosin paper paving the way from the entry to the room I was hanging.

The rejoicing ended when I pulled it up and found that a couple of minor splashes of water on the paper had stained the floor RED.

I will no longer work or walk on red rosin paper.

Think of all the possibilities brother ew, Don't be a DUH all your life.

We've gone to fleece bottomed drops for new floors. Works great. You can slide them around a new floor finish and leave no trace.

I usually lay plastic down be4 I put the rosin paper down. Works great!

 

[Bushdude]

Just use the natural colored (tan) rosin paper, it alsop has reinforcing threads so it doesn't rip like the red crap.

I've done that but the problem I've had is the paper curling up. I wasn't asking the question because I don't know what to do. I was asking cause daArch only said what he didn't do. So I thought maybe he had a better deal like Ver. I have always used plastic and put drops on top. I have also used the rubber back drops but the rubber tends to curl. I have also used the drops that have the plastic coating under them but if you tear the plastic their done. So I have just stuck with plastic, paper and drops.

my drops are really thick canvas that my father bought like 30 years ago to make a teepee out of. He never did anything with them but stored them all these years. Best drops ever. Completely waterproof with no plastic or rubber on them. Only problems I had were if I spilled a bunch of stain in one spot on them and let it sit it would soak through after 5-10 min. but most of them have reached their end of interior life so I am going to try and find more rolls of canvas like this.
I use fleece blankets at the end of my drops so that if you get any paint in the tread of your shoes, it gets cleaned out before you track it anywhere unintentionally. Where do you get fleece backed drops Scott?
