Q: I am sanding a wood floor and I’m between coats. I’m before applying the third and last coat of oil based polyurethane. If there are a few spots that remain shiny even after using 320 grit sandpaper, is that okay?
A: No. If there are shiny spots you haven’t rubbed those spots enough. You must de-gloss the finish.
