Removed finish cleaning off
adhesive
Added December

Q. While recently gluing down my new bamboo
flooring, I found out that I maybe hadn't cleaned the
floor as well as I could have. Thus I had to use paint thinner
to scrub the adhesive off. After that, there are now dull
spots where the finish was removed. What can I do?
A: Since the manufacturer's recommended adhesive remover
was not used, contacting the manufacturer seems like a good
option. Applying substances such as polyurethane usually causes
differences in the finish in the affected areas, as well as
possible problems with adhesion. To achieve an even finish,
you would need to screen and apply new coats of finish to
the entire floor. However, there may be issues with compatibility.
You should contact the manufacturer in regards to your finishing
issues.
