Q&A–: Too much polyurethane on parts of wood floors?
I’ve sanded and apllied conditioner, stain, and water-based polyurethane on older wood floors in a bedroom. They look great except I got too much extra poly on one of my strokes, and it “pooled” up. It dried and there is an obvious discrepancy in the floor. It looks like a line the length of the aplicator that is slightly blue tinted. How do i fix this? I’ve heard that polyurethane eventually wears away. How long will it take to wear away this goof?

If it is that noticeable, and not in a high traffic area, you may want to sand it down. Now as far the the blue tinting, that’s new to me.

Uh oh. IF the floor is a soft wood like pine, and IF the water base poly took a long time to dry and pooled there, you could have what’s called “Blue Stain”. This occurs in soft woods when dormant bacteria is activated by standing water. But if you have a hardwood floor, it may just be a simple matter of sanding down the area to remove the color, and reapplying the poly. Yeah, the poly will wear down over time, but in a bedroom, that will be a very long time I think.

Question–: How do I get rid of the polyurethane on the glass door of my book case?
I applied layer of polyurethane on the book shelf and its doors. Unfortunately I was not careful enough to protect the glass panels of the doors. Now I see a trace of polyurethane along the side of the glass. What should I do to remove these traces?

Scrape it with a straight razor blade.

Answer by ldrick
Assuming the varnish has dried, it can be scraped off with a paint scraper. I tend to score down the edge of the glass once (carefully – you don’t want to scratch the glass or damage the wood), and then work from the centre to the edge, doing one section at a time. Be careful! The glass on a cupboard door is much thinner than normal window glass, and breaks more easily. If at all in doubt, wear gloves. Good luck

Get you a razor blade from the hardware store with handle on it and scrape it off , Clean glass you should be good to go.

I re-finished and re-surfaced our hardwood floors. It was fun. And by fun, I mean backbreaking hard work. But it was worth it.
