Uneven Color
The Problem:
The look of the stain is uneven.
The Cause:
This can be due to the sanding procedures being uneven. Uneven
sanding will cause the color to look uneven. Improper wiping
techniques are another reason for uneven staining.
How to fix the problem:
1. If sanding procedures are the cause, then only a complete
re-sanding and re-staining of the floor will fix the problem.
2. If improper wiping techniques are the reason for uneven staining,
and the floor has not yet been top coated. Buffing the floor
with mineral spirits and steel wool, or green synthetic pad
under the buffer will even out the color.
How to avoid in the future:
Sand the floor according to NOFMA NWFA standards. Ensure ALL
superfluous stain is wiped from the floor.
