[DIY] oiled floors

 

Hi. I've been a member here for years but mostly just read and learn. I've used many of the suggestions in posts as I work on my own little place. thank you all.

Now - my dilemma

I have pine flooring that is about 15 years old. I initially stained it and then oiled it with Circa 1850 tung and teek oil. A light grade oil but seems to dry well and is easy to redo. I do this ever year. So,  I recently restained all the dings in my floor and put down a coat of oil every night for 5 nights. The last coat dulled and looks horrible! I don't know what happened or what to do to restore the oiled look. I question if it was too humid? Too cool?.I just don't know what happened or how to fix it. I tried to wipe an area with paint thinner. It did nothing to the finish on the floor. 

Any suggestions or explanation so I can avoid this in the future?

Thanks 

Betsy
