A lambswool applicator is commonly used to apply an oil-based finish to hardwood floors. This type of applicator is made from lamb’s wool and spreads the finish evenly across the surface of the floor. The lambswool is normally attached to a block of wood which is attached to a pole for applying the finish. As long as you care for it properly, this type of applicator achieves a great result.
When to Use Lambswool Applicators
When you apply an oil-based finish to hardwood floors, you should use a lambswool applicator. You can use it for most oil-based stains, varnish, floor waxes, and certain paints, and you can use a polyurethane lambswool applicator for polyurethane coatings. When you apply the stain, you need to work slowly and cover every part of the floor. Take your time to make sure that you cover each section completely and avoid creating bubbles.
Benefits of Using a Lambswool Applicator
There are many benefits to using a lambswool applicator. First, it works with a variety of products, including stains, urethane finishes, varnish, and floor waxes. Lambswool is very absorbent, so you don’t need to constantly dip your applicator in the stain. In addition, you get a smooth application quickly. Lambswool won’t drip or leave trails of stain. This makes it easier to apply the finish to floors and helps to ensure that the floor will look great when you finish. This applicator is easy to use, and it is soft, durable, flexible, and absorbent.
