What is water popping on timber floors before coating?
Here's the short answer:
Water popping is a technique used before coating to open the timber grain and enhance stain absorption and coating adhesion. ATFA demonstrates oil coating for water-popped engineered oak panels in their how-to video series. FSA Network floor sanders use water popping when appropriate to achieve deeper, more even colour results.
