| Oops! I wasn't really thinking and rubbed teak oil on a high-traffic area of my polyeurethane-finished oak floor. Now it is a sticky mess (of course, since it didn't have anything to absorb into). To get rid of the stickies, I rubbed the area with Turpenoid Natural (I'm also a painter). The Turpenoid Natural got rid of most of the stickiness but that part of my floor is duller than before. Do I need to strip that area and start over?
For future guidance, is there a better way to add sheen to a polyeurethane floor without needing to add more layers of poly all the time? Looking for a non-toxic, natural solution. |

| Try some paint thinner. Most artist supplies are simply overpriced versions of other products. You may have damaged the finish, or but if it is still even a little sticky there is still stuff there. What do you mean by "add sheen"? 'Satin' usually is slightly dull, while 'gloss' is as shiny as it gets. |
