I just bought a house and spent the last weekend sanding and staining the wood floor. Everything has gone according to plan until last night. On Monday I applied oil based polyU and let it try for 2 days. Last night I rented an orbital sander to buff the floors but the pads they gave me didn't work. They were very "sticky" and the sander could not spin at speed. Basically I could not finish the floors. My question:
1) Do you need to buff/sand after applying an oil based PolyU. I see conflicting advice online and it seems that the floors are fine right now. There are some small areas that have bubbles which I could buff out with a small hand sander but do I need to sand the whole house? 2) The PolyU manufacturer recommends only one coat. The floors right now look good and seem well protected. Any advice here?Thanks Firas
