Question 4

I love the product. But I made a mistake applying it in 2 bedrooms. I left the second coat to dry overnight and it didn't penetrate so now the floors are blistered and bubbled where it pooled and dried. To correct this should I re sand and start over or use mineral spirits to dissolve? Or something else? So bummed that I didn't do my due diligence. But what now? Thank you. View answer
