Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Jul 19, 2011 12:39 pm Well I've just moved into an older place, short term whilst building, and it has polished hardwood boards that have seen better days... For the most part the overall finish isn't too bad, but its in the regular wear places (kitchen table, lounge room, chairs moving etc), that there are a few scratches and scuff marks which detract from the finish... They obviously haven't been the least bit careful with living on timber boards, so I'm wondering what I can use (if anything) to give the boards a birthday... I know the most obvious solution is a full sand and reapplication, but I've got a few plans for painting etc down the track, and so don't really want to attempt that right know... Is there a specific product that can simply be wiped on, i.e. tung oil??? that will get into the scratches and hide them a little, and/or something that will give the floor a bit more lustre in those area's that have dulled up due to foot traffic???
