Uneven and blotchy stain job
Q: My husband took on the task of refinishing our wood floors. However, when he applied the stain, it was uneven and blotchy. Do you have any suggestions in correcting this problem?
A: Rent a polisher (if you have not applied any finish) and remove as much of the stain possible with 80 grit screens. Then polish with 100 grit screens to smooth. The edges can be done similarly with a good quality orbital sander with 80 grit sand paper. After you have removed as much of the stain that you are able, vacuum and wet (not soak) the floor with warm water and allow to dry. Apply stain in 3 foot rows from one end of the room to the other, wiping off excess stain.
