Hello, I have a plywood flooring about 13'x6' and I wanted to protect it while giving it a nice dark color. When I went to my local hardware store they gave me a bottle of saman Tung oil and after following the directions, I tried this section (which will have stuff on it so its not going to be very visible). I applied a lot of it, waited 10 minutes and wiped off the excess. Sadly it's VERY blotchy. And although I'm not super picky about the final outcome, this really does look terrible. Now I'm just wondering if the problem will go away after the second coat.. Or I gotta do something different? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
To prep, I sanded the entire floor with 150 grit sandpaper as per the instructions.
