If it were me, I would “completely” strip the floor and then let it dry. With all the junk that is put on it, I would not put anything else on it. You need to start from the beginning. I am not certain how to do that with all the oils that have soaked into the Wood.

I would never try something new on a big project or any project. Always try a new finish on trial boards. Even if it takes a long time to run a trial, it saves time, money and aggravation later on.

I have never understood why people come up with these schemes for finishing. For your benefit, the person I would trust the most is Charles Neil. I hope that he can help you. I do not think any solution will be quick and easy.
