Topic tags/keywords: poly polyurethane wood floors wood flooring finish finishing Hi all. I, like an idiot, didn’t mix my poly before I put down the final coat and it resulted in an uneven sheen with 1/2 the floor looking like semi-gloss and half looking like satin. See floor here: Now, we DO WANT the satin finish, not the higher gloss one. Minwax quick drying oil-based satin poly. The question of the day – how do I “degloss” the shiny side? Thanks in advance. |

your TinyPic link does not relate to your flooring issue. . . . . as for the floor issue: you don’t degloss it – you put on another coat of satin, Read, Understand and Follow the instructions on the label of all products you use. . . -- there is no educational alternative to having a front row seat in the School of Hard Knocks. -- |

The link worked for me. I saw a photo of a wooden floor annotated showing the shiny and dull areas. What’s with the rest of your lecture about reading instructions anyway? We have a new user who needs help and you’re making accusations of spamming and talking down to them. Back to the original post, Blentil, your best option is to get another can and mix it well. Don’t try to just repair the glossy part. Chalk it up to experience and be happy with the fact that your floor will have an extra durable layer of protection :) -- Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right.

What they said: the finish will have the sheen of the final coat, so just apply a coat the one you want over the top of what you have. -- Our village hasn't lost it's idiot, he was elected to congress. |

Yeah, John is a little harsh today. Must not have slept good. lol Link worked for me. You could probably use a buffer with some kind of high grit screen to change the sheen, |

Both jbay and I saw the photo of the floor, so you probably have something wrong on your end. -- Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner |

Well, it’s a shame the OP didn’t ask you first. You could have sent him one of your trademark photos. -- Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner |

I didn’t even see his suggestion because it was buried between his accusation and his lecture. -- Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner |

Ha thanks guys. Should I sand first? |
#12 posted 12-19-2018 08:46 PM |
I would scuff sand it to insure good adhesion. But that’s just me. -- Our village hasn't lost it's idiot, he was elected to congress. |

Just be sure it’s fully cured before sanding, or it’ll clog your paper. -- Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner |
