18-Inch Lightweight T-Bar Applicator Bundle with 18-Inch Refill Pad Included – Ideal for Smooth & Even Floor Coating Application | Perfect for Polyurethane, Stains, Sealers & Floor Finishes

First time trying this, I got the 18" version, The floor is drying now, but the results using it were great, easy, fast coverage, it didn't drip too much either, I used a tray to load up, I know people poor and spread but I didn't want to try that.UPDATE: The finish is better than anything else I've used, it's dry, and super smooth.

This tool was ideal for applying varnish to my floor. The old varnish had worn off unevenly, creating waves that I suspect were due to an imperfectly level sanding job. Using the Bona Traffic with this T-bar allowed me to distribute the varnish evenly and efficiently. My only suggestion would be to use a 12 or 14-inch bar instead, given the size of the area.

We flip houses and we’re paying someone to redo our wood floors ever since we purchased this product I redo all of our wood floors myself, and with no problem I have washed the sponge sleeve out and used it probably more than eight times and if you clean it and keep it wrapped tightly, it will last. I’ve had one sleeve over a year.

I got this T-bar applicator to apply finishes on my new 3/4" white oak flooring. The bar itself was easy enough to work with. I attached it to my extendable pole, got the applicator pad on it, and started my first coat of white-wash stain.It was smearing the stain rather than dragging/snowplowing as I had seen in the countless videos and tutorials I watched online. In addition, over time the T-bar would loosen from my pol (when turning it to the left) and I would have to stop and re-tighten constantly. The T-bar swivel seemed too tight to allow smooth rotation of the bar. Basically it helped me mess up my first coat of stain. I ended up using my backup sheep's wool regular pad applicator to fix and even out the areas that this bar screwed up. I switched to a 14" roller and pan setup, and haven't looked back. The roller applies a MUCH more even coating of the stain and sealer, and I was able to complete each coat of the 1,000sqft of flooring within about 30-45 minutes (which is great when working with water-based coatings).All-in-all I chalk this up to operator error, but I just don't see why all the old-heads tout the T-bar as the best method for application, when the roller was easier, wasted less material, and was more precise to control and feather the coatings. If I ever do another floor in my life, this T-bar won't be involved.

I usde this to refinish a vinyl tile floor, it was about 600 sq ft. It worked perfectly.

Used this to maneuver polyurethane to seal our hardwood floors. Worked well but definitely takes some skill 🙈. Saves time and as long as you DO NOT pick it up but make passes while keeping it on the floor, it reduces bubble pockets. The size helps save time in spreading the poly around. Weight also helped but we may have applied too thick. Still helped a lot and we will use it again!

I tried other methods of coating my floor with polyurethane, this tool works the best. My floors are smooth as glass. Watch videos on how to use it, takes a little practice but worth it.
