Um... this is my summer project, but I have more to worry about than the gloss on top. Just about every fastener is rotten... black from the screws weeping into the wood. My guess is that I'm going to have to remove all of them by drilling... but then I wonder if the floor will completely fall apart. I think there is "vermiculite" under it? Will I be able to re-attach to that or am I looking at pulling all the wood up first? Can it be salvaged? Anybody gotten into this drama yet? I DO NOT want to put veneer over the top... just make it stop rotting ... I don't mind a "patina"
