Two common problems faced by Hard wood floors are Bleed Back, and Pin Holes.
Bleed Back problem and solution
This is a common problem observed on hard wood floors. It occurs as a result of excessive stains seeping up through the gaps between floor boards. Common causes include; excessive heat, excessive stain application, high pigmented stain, and Knot or burl areas. A solution for this comes in two folds; before the finish is applied and after the finish has been applied. If it is the former wipe off the extra stain and even the stain color and then allow the stain to dry before running another coat over it. For the later, carry out a complete re-sand of the entire floor. You can also utilize the services of a professional flooring company to help you with the task.
Pin Holes problem, and solution
Pin Holes share close similarities with fish eyes especially when it comes to their sizes. Pin Holes are as a result of a coat of finish applied on another coat that is not fully dry. The solvents try to push through the finish forming on the new coat, creating a pin hole on the finish.
The solution is to ensure ample time is given to the previous coat to dry. If you are a DIYer, you should adhere the manufacturer's directives for drying time and spread rates. "To ensure your hardwood keep their beautiful appearance and are protected, you need to do proper research or hire the services of a professional. With that, you won't have to encounter any of these problems," says Allman.
