We claim: 1. A system for forming a floor finish layer comprising: a portable reservoir configured to be supported on an operator and to hold a volume of liquid floor finish; a wand applicator comprising a handle, an applicator, and a conduit; a metering valve configured to controllably provide fluid communication of the floor finish through the conduit and to release the floor finish onto the floor between the wand and the handle; and a filling cabinet configured to controllably refill the portable reservoir with the liquid floor finish, a filling cabinet comprising a fillable reservoir with a resealable opening at one end; a filling valve configured to couple with the resealable opening of the fillable reservoir; a door panel comprising a latch; a backing panel comprising a latch receptacle; and a shut-off valve configured to stop liquid filling the fillable reservoir. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the portable reservoir is directly connected to the wand applicator. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the fillable reservoir has a capacity of about 1 to 2 gallons of liquid. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the fillable reservoir comprises a collapsible polymeric bag with two or more layers. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the filling valve is configured to open and allow liquid to flow into the fillable reservoir only when the resealable opening couples with the valve. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the latch of the door panel and the latch receptacle of the backing panel are configured to engage when the filling cabinet is closed. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the shut-off valve is a mechanical switch triggered by the expansion of the fillable reservoir on being filled with liquid.
