We had our pine floors sanded yesterday, and one coat of Poly was applied. Today we're applying a second coat.
However - my son, in his socks, walked on the floor this morning before the first coat was done drying and you can see the places he stepped. What can I do??? Should I sand down where he stepped?
Thank you so much for any help - I have no idea what to do.

Hi, I'm not an expert but I have done some floors myslef and it seems that you can wait until it dries fullyand then sand. (In between coats of poly you are supposed to light sand anyway).
