I need advise on our tung oiled (new) heart pine floors!! The flooring contractor applied the tung oil, but it was such a mess that we had him strip them and let him go at that point. Then I and a wonderful helper reapplied three coats of tung oil. We thinned the first coat with one third mineral spirits to two thirds oil. Rubbed it off after 15 minutes. The second coat was not diluted as much, then the third coat was barely diluted. We strictly followed all the directions given to us both verbally and written by several authorities of the tung oil companies. Now, after having the floors covered with paper for protection, and right before we want to move in, we are looking at the floors and seeing shinny and dull splotches. It is just not pretty at all. We walk on the floor and our foot prints show. My husband describes the floor as being smudgy and not uniform. ( Before putting the protective paper down the floor was completely dry.) We are wondering if all of the tung oil was removed by the contractor..? Has anyone had a problem like this? If so what was your remedy? I can't tell you how much I would appreciate help, my husband is so upset, and I'm at my wits end. Thank you so much.
