Hi

Spent ages lovingly sanding my lounge floor boards. Hired a sander,
went up through the sand papers to the finer grades to make it nice and
smooth.

Bought a tin of Ronseal Diamond Hard Clear Satin floor varnish, hoovered
teh sanded floor with a dyson, left it for a day, hoovered the floor
boards again with teh hoover. Painted a first coat of varnish and it
looked ok. Waited 2 hours as suggested on the tin for the varnish to
dry, felt dry, put another coat of varnish down. On one floor board
there is a patch about a metre long that has dried almost white rather
than clear. Unlike the rest of the floor it has also crazed slightly on
the surface rather than feeling smooth. What have I done wrong? I
tried to put a another coat on top of this patch to see if it would
mingle with teh rest of the floor but it hasnt helped! Can I sand that
patch back the the wood again and redo just that patch of will that make
the floor look even more of a mess?

Feel a bit sick that spent so much time on it and now this patch has
appeared. Off out to buy a small rug...

Thanks for any help

Personally, I'd leave it all to dry for a couple of days, sand down
that one floorboard and re-varnish.

Either the second coat was reacting to the first coat (Not dry enough)
or there was something actually in the wood, causing problems.
