I recently sanded down an rest some my oak hardwood floors. Totally screwed up, applied a second coat of oil based min wax stain, and didn't wipe it up thoroughly enough and was left with a very sticky result. Got some good advice here, and resanded the whole floor again. Stained it with just one coat this time, and very thoroughly wiped up all the excess. Now, 13 hours later, it is dry and feels dry but I can see some shiny spots on it and other full areas. I'm guessing I possibly didn't sand it well enough in some areas and those areas are shiny now? You can only see the shine when the light hits it at an angle in those spots.
Is there anything I can do to fix this other than starting over a third time? Maybe buff it with a maroon pad, wipe it down with microfiber, anything? Or could I expect that applying a poly satin finish will even out the shine?
