We got the floor stained 2 weeks ago, and it came out pretty good, much better than the previous time. The floor isn't perfect, has some stained wood, etc..., so "rustic" one thing, is that my wife had some sweat run out of a glove and down her elbows and drop on the wood floors before we put the conditioner down. We conditioned and stained, and there are spots from the sweat drops.

My wife asked "can we spot sand those spots and then condition and stain them?"

I'm worried that if we tried that, we would end up with rings or something around the areas where the stain was obviously different/darker/lighter, and more of an issue than the sweat drops.

We've got some old wood laying around. I'd thought of replicating it in a test (sand, drop, condition, stain, try sanding, conditioning and restaining) But I thought I should check with you folks first. It seems like you could save me a lot of trouble (it'll never look right) or encourage me (you might be ok if you're careful).

We haven't put down the poly yet.
