Missed spot of polyurethane
Q: When putting urethane on a floor what can I do if I somehow miss an area in the middle of a floor and see it after I have finished? How do I fix the problem without doing the hold floor over? This was a polyurethane oil base gloss finish used. Also, why is it necessary to go with the grain when doing poly if the poly is going to self level?
A: You might try taping off the area with painters tape. Tape the entire boards missed, along the edges and ends. Apply the finish to the missed boards and remove the tape immediately. It is good practice to apply with the grain. If the finish dries faster than normal and you have applied across the grain, you could see fine pin stripe lines left from the fibres of the applicator.
