husband applied PurSolid linseed oil product on beautiful new hardwood floors. did not wipe or buff. now they are gummed up horrid mess. should I strip the oil, wait for it to dry and resand or what?? i am heartborken and need help. thanks for any advice.

 

Welcome to the forums!

It might not dry on it's own get a rag fairly wet with mineral spirits and scrub the floor. You may need to change rags as you go. Be sure to dispose of the rags properly - outside!! in a covered container, they can become a fire hazard

I don't use rubbing oils very often but unless I'm mistaken, you ALWAYS cut linseed oil in half with paint thinner before you apply it. Cleaning the wood with a thinner rag might result in a finished product

 

Thank-you. We are going to try that this morning and will let you know how it turns out!

Thanks again!
