Hello- So I am in the midst of refinishing my oak floors.
I thoroughly sanded them and they are nice and clean and even. I then applied a Minwax stain (red oak) to them last night. I took my time and the floors came out beautifully.
I wanted to start polyurethaning them this evening, about 24hrs. after the staining. Prior to laying down the polyurethane, I wiped down the floor with tack
rags dampened with mineral spirits, like the Minwax can said.
Now I have streaks in my floor where I wiped it with the tack rags!!!!!
A little bit of stain came up as I wiped, and now I fear that I made the stain uneven.
The color is consistent, but the streaks are more like some areas are shiny and others are dull.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help.
