Now that the reclaimed beech floor that I laid has been in for a few weeks, I’d quite like to fill some of the small gaps that have appeared. All < 1mm. The floor is finished with osmo Polyx, and before I applied the finish I filled any gaps with osmo acrylic filler that comes in a caulk tube. My question is, how do I go about getting the neatest finish now the wood is already oiled?
Frog tape, then a tiny bead of filler over the gap, then wipe clean/level with a wet cloth? I did that method before I applied the oil, but also gave the areas a very light sand - something that I’d like to avoid now the floor is otherwise finished.
The main issue is a couple of spots around the toilet where I’m worried about water stain from water getting into the end grain in these wee gaps.
I get that I should probably just try a spot and see how I get on, but this thread never ceases to amaze me with the level of knowledge available, and thus I might be missing some key tekkers.
Pictured is the biggest gap.
