  • Not if you have the floor lubricated with oil. Dry buffing with number 2 wool will scratch but not if you keep the oil wet. Burnishing with number 1 wet or dry will never cause scratches

  • Nice method! I have never seen it done that way before. One question though, does the steel wool scratch the floor?

  • no scratches if you only burnish with steel wool when it is wet with oil. We use #1 steel for walnut , white oak, ash etc and #0 steel wool for maple, cherry and softer woods. Once the wood is smooth and slick you can buff with just the red pad to lay out a VERY thin coat and allow it to dry.

  • most buffers pull under 15 amps, easy to use in the home. Some of the smaller ones pull 10 amps or less.

  • hi, great video, but what type of oil is it?
