We are repainting a room for our two grandsons in anticipation of twins in November. The floor is T&G pine that is face nailed with square nails. There are so many things done wrong and cheaply in that house I share didn’t see this one coming.
The square nails appear to be driven below the surface of the boards. When I sand off the finish I’m sure to expose some nail heads. Should I drive those nails further or just let them show? I’m going to finish with oil based polyurethane.
