After refinishing hardwood floors?

I have sanded, stained, poly’d, sanded, and poly’d again. My question is, what (if anything) should I apply to the floors once the last coat of poly has dried for a few days? Is there anything that needs to go on after? After I did the first coat the floor was like an ice skating rink, I dont want it to be that way after the last coat and stay that way. Thanks for the input.
Ok, thanks a lot EaglesDen.

refinishing hardwood floors?

We have a house with hardwood under the carpet… if the wood is in good condition and we just have to take up the tack boards – is it really hard to refinish the floors??? do we just have to sand the edges or the entire floor.. how does this process work?

I have a new engineered floating wood floor. A brass lamp fell and left a quarter to half inch deep gash in the floor. Is there a way to repair it without replacing the foor? The wood is oak.

My husband and I bought an old house built in 1950 . We have recently discovered that there is hardwood flooring under the carpet. We have since ripped it up and have decided to refinish the floor ourselves. We have called the local hardware store and have found they have a sander we can rent. Can anyone give me some advice on the proper method of getting these floors to look great again?

I have a wood plank floor that was “finished” at one time — ’bout 65 years ago.. Since then it has been covered with carpet and the finish is pretty much gone. There are no gaps/chips/rot… How can I redo these (with a light finish) on a budget? I think I’d have to sand them lightly —- thats all I know :-)

We are refinishing 50 year old hardwood floors. The old varnish was just flaking off. How many layers of polyurethane will it take to create a durable finish. Our 70 lb dog will be walking on these. Also does it matter how thick or thin the layers are?

My toddler had an undiscovered accident on our livingroom rug. It soaked into our wood floor and left a black spot about 3′x3′. We are moving from this apartment and do not want to loose our deposit. We don’t have much $, but can someone tell us how we can repair just this small area on the floor. It is a real wood floor.
