I'm in trouble.
This weekend, I've been sanding the reclaimed parquet floor which I've laid.
It's all looking pretty good but I am now at the stage of gap filling.
I had intended to use Lecol 7500 (or equivalent) to fill the gaps. As I understand it, you mix it to a sloppy paste and spread it over the whole floor.
The firm I got my hard waxoil from persuaded me to use a wood filler gel. They said it was cheaper and I would only need a couple of litres. The method with this stuff is to mix it to a putty cosistency and fill the gaps.
I think this stuff is better suited to small scale furniture restoration. It goes off about 30 seconds after it's been spread and it's therefore not covering well. I have used half of my stock of product and have done less than 1/4 of the floor.
Where can I get hold of the right stuff on a sunday? I'm in Essex, and close to London.
Andy.
