Default Hardwood floor finishing problems

I finally decided to try and sand it down again and start over, I have
to get this done. As some of you may have guessed that doesn't work
because it doesn't take any time for the sandpaper to get gummed with
the sticky wood up then start ripping. I went through several papers
and got very little floor taken down.

Feel free to say that any approach I've taken is just stupid, I just
need to know what to do. If anyone has any ideas or can point me to a
post that might help, I'm about to put a shovel through my floor out of
pure frustration, and my wife has been very patient, but I don't know
how much longer she'll put up with our furniture in the garage and our
kitchen out on the porch. Thanks,

Trock



Anytime I've had a wood floor sticky finish problem I used a floor buffer
(can be rented with a quick discussion of operation) and #3 steel wool pad,
it comes in a roll or pads. (Janitorial supply house) and lots of paint
thinner.....a wet vac with towels, mops etc to pick up the goo wouldn't hurt
either. I never found it particularly flammable but a fire extinguishers
would be worthwhile.......Rod
