Sanding machine shall not be moved more than two boards at a time for each traverse on any of the four cuts. After sanding, a better overall floor appearance is achieved by screen disk abrading the floor with a square buffing machine. On this last cut, use a square floor buffer fitted with fine paper or a fine screen disk, (typically 100-120 grit), and sand the entire floor to blend circular cuts of the disc sander with the drum sander cuts. This additional screening is strongly recommended for pattern flooring.

Before Sealing: Contractor shall clean entire facility to insure that dust from sanding does not get on the floor after the seal has been applied and request inspection by the District before any finishing work is started. Sealing: All unfinished maple gym floors shall be sealed as soon as possible after final sanding is completed. Thoroughly clean the floor surface prior to applying the first coat of sealer. Using a clean lambswool applicator, apply a liberal and uniform coat of penetrating sealer with at least the minimum coverage buff with steel wool, screenback disk, pad and thoroughly clean.
