Nora,

Final Touch wood filler. The Squeegy was sent to me by Final Touch along with several products to test for them, I'd assume that you could just buy one at HomeDepot or Lowes, but trowelling from hands and knees with regular Trowel or Drywall Knife is better. 1st you can see what needs to be filled better when you're down on the floor and go over those areas that need to be worked in. 2nd it makes better use of the filler......

Dale a few questions - what sort of wood filler did you use?
Are you still using this method?
Where did you find such a squeegy?

Stephen,

That's the 1st time that I ever tried the squeegy, but I don't feel that it left enough on the floor to be concerned with what was being wasted. Even if it's a 1/3 more being used you're pencil is to sharp if that is what concerns you........

Arn't you wasting a lot though or is it not enough to worry about?

Definitely thicker than using a trowel, but not so thick that it would cause a problem. It sanded off very easily with 80g

Is it just me or did that go on kind of thick?
