Hi Howard.... - are finish floor and lower layer of same materials? - how long ago was the floor oiled? and how soon did the furniture get moved in? Kindra -----Original Message----- We're having minor problems with our earthen floor. Its seems the floor in the main house is absorbing humidity and in places where 1/8 inch final coat layer seems not to have adhered to 3/4 inch layer below; it pulls up under furniture we sit in leaving holes 1 to 3 inches in diameter. 2 weeks ago a bare sweaty foot pulled a piece of floor up; most of this has happened in the last 2 months (4 holes). We have put several applications of linseed oil in these holes to prevent further separating. We're thinking of sealing it with another layer of carnuba wax in late fall when air is drier so as to prevent more holes and then fill in existing ones with a mix. Do you have any other suggestions for prevention, maintenance? -- Howard ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Coblist mailing list Coblist at deatech.com http://www.deatech.com/mailman/listinfo/coblist End of Coblist Digest, Vol 9, Issue 106 ***************************************
