Wood-Print Repair

I did not finish the floors before building, and this happened... ../../RGT_Website_assets/ajax-loader.gif

01. The tape tore the printed surface 01D.png

02. Gel stain is a surface (not 'penetrating') stain - match the shade as closely as possible (this is Oak) 02D.png

03. Polyshades, Minwax Express Color or Wood Sheen work too if you find a matching color ../FloorFinish/assets/LatexCompatibleStainsD.png

04. Texturizing - extend the grain look in both directions until it disappears 03D.png

05. When it has dried, finish the floor 04D.png

06. See the link to floor finishes (left) - there are special techniques for these floors 05D.png

07. Not bad, but I should have extended the 'grain look' further. 06D.png
