Tips: - Carpet scraps can save you from scratching your floors: keep a couple of pieces around when moving heavy furniture.
- To keep a rocking chair from wearing the finish off a wood floor, place a strip of adhesive tape on the bottom of each rocker.
- If you need to tap on the tongue side of a tongue-and-groove board to tighten the joint, use a scrap piece as a buffer to protect the delicate tongue.
- To put an ultrasmooth surface on wood you want to refinish, use the finest grade of steel wool for the final prep sanding. Remove any metal slivers from the wood by slowly running a magnet over the entire surface.
- Sanding with a strip of emery cloth is an excellent way to get the tight spots of turned balusters.
