Hi everyone,
I have just recently sanded and stained our oak floors and wherever I sanded with the edge sander, it will not take the stain like it does where I had the drum sander. It is a completely lighter shade and obviously different.
I've tried to go back over these areas with another coat of stain to darken them and the stain just will not take. I used the same grit, 100, on everything for my final sanding.
Any ideas on how to fix this, or why it's doing this? Any help is very appreciated. I'm sick of how much work I put into this to have it turn out this way.
