Hey all, getting ready to start prepping floors. Wife and I are planning to use BLO.
We Milled, dried and planed the Pine(mix of knotty, yellow and heart) T&G ourselves. They sat outside for several months before install and its always humid in south Georgia, so I figured they picked up some extra moisture. When installed, we didn't have AC yet so unfortunately cracks between planks developed(high humidity in the south). most of them are 1/16-1/8 inch with a couple going to 3/16.
They've been installed for over 6 months and had A/C in the cabin for the last two.
I've seen videos where sawdust from floor sanding was mixed with a binder(sanding sealer, wood putty, glue, etc) to fill cracks, then floors re-sanded.
What binder would work best with a BLO finish?
Or better options or opinions would be much appreciated!
