Thanks again for your suggestions.
I have an old heat gun I will certainly try that to see if it helps the
clumps. But I am afraid to burn or scorch the floor when I do.
Any suggestions, DanG??
I really am not concerned at this point with saving the old finish. When we
did the hallway, the finish came off anyway with the clumps. I do plan on a
whole new finish once the clumps are gone in all rooms.
Question for Bob, was it expensive to hire a pro with the sander?? I have
to hire a pro in the end for re-finishing, I'm thinking they will have to
sand the entire floor anyway, before they do. Can you give me a rough
estimate on what that ran you to sand the clumps off? or was it just
figured in with your refinishing job?? I have 2 rooms, dining room 12 x 15
and living room 12 x 18 approx. If its not too much I may just leave the
clumps I cant get and wait till next year and have to pros get them when
they refinish. I can just put a large area rug on top until then.
I dont want to re carpet at all, just area rugs.
Let me know!


thank you, Pat
