    I got a question about DC voltage with the American B2 edger. Back in the day when there was no power running to houses during construction my dad told me that they used to run the all the machines on a power plant that only produced DC power. In talking to him he said the brush is used to last longer on the edger and the big machine. My question is how many DC volts can you put to a b-2 edger?

    • @AmericanSanders

      Do not exceed the recommended volts in the operator manual. In the US, the max is 115V. In the UK or Australia, the max is 230V.

    I have a 1,150 sq. ft room with a 12 year old Bona finish. Only 200 sq. ft show any wear. Is it ok to sand down where needed and reapply the Bona Mega one (Satin). I really don't want to refinish entire area. My understanding is that the Mega One is not yellowing vs. the Mega which is not. Flooring is unstained natural 5 1/2" Ash. Thanks for you tutorial.

    • @AmericanSanders
      @AmericanSanders 6 місяців тому

      Hello Bart. Trying to refinish just a portion of the floor will require you to blend the new sanding scratch pattern and the new finish with the old. Professional wood floor contractors will not do this on anything but a freshly sanded and finished floor that might need a repair. It will be impossible to match the new to old finish, even a 'non-yellowing' finish. The only recommendation is to sand and refinish the entire floor. I know it's not what you're hoping, but you will be happiest in the end doing it correctly. When you do sand and refinish, I suggest you try the American Sanders TimberGuard Select water-based wood floor finish. TimberGuard Select is very easy to roll out and get an even, professional looking floor. And best of all, TimberGuard Select is the most durable water-based finish on the market.
