Would possibly applying a new coat of glossy polyurethane even things out? If the floor is still two toned- do you have any suggestions? That second coat is drying now but I don’t think it will fix the problem. We were perplexed and sanded the floor with 220, cleaned and prepared the floor for the second coat, hoping for the best. The floor where the new can was applied looked wet it was so shiny. The first area was a dull but ‘dry’ appearing. After 4-6 hours we could see a change in the two surfaces (old and new can). When we went to apply the water based polyurethane we first used part of a gallon can of Helsman Clear Satin (opened and used within the last 6 months) and part way through the job switched to a new can of the same polyurethane to finish. The stain took a while to dry (we probably did not remove all of the old poly) but were beautiful. We did not like the transition area so we sanded the entire floor with 180 sand paper and we applied the stain that was matched to the old floors. We bought a 7 year old house last year and added an addition that extended our hardwood (red oak) floors.
