Solid Hardwood, Engineered and Laminate Flooring - Sprayed on finishes

I have have a hardwood floor to refinish and I've always applied the finish with lambs wool. However now that I'm getting into larger painting and refinishing using an airless sprayer I was wondering about using it to apply the floor finish as well.

Basically it would be a coat of quick dry sealer the same day as sanding. Then a coat of urethane the next day.

Has amyone ever used this method of application?

Thanx

What type of sprayer do you have? If it's the Wagner Paint Crew type sprayer, I don't think you can use quick dry type coatings in it or the gloss, I may be wrong though.

I believe you can only use these type of coatings in a gravity fed sprayer.

I will be corrected if I'm wrong.

No, it's not wagner paint crew. It's a 3000 psi commercial grade airless sprayer. I know the sprayer will spray the product, I'm just wondering if there's any precautions I should be aware of as I have never sprayed urethane on a floor. Only used lambs wool, but I know(or at least I think) spraying it will be quicker and give a more even coat and therefore a better end result. I have a wide range of tips for spraying very thick material to very thin material.

As a painter I've done my share of spraying and have sprayed varnish/poly many times. I doubt that it would be a good idea on a floor because as overspray settles I would think that it would result in a rougher finish than a lambs wool pad or even a roller would give. It would be possible to apply a heavier coat but that would also result in longer drying time.
