I used a nail punch and drove the "rivets" into the wood below the surface. As long as they are below the surface line, your sander will not catch on them and you can sand your floor. It is tedious and time consuming, but can be done. Then just apply a new finish.</p>eastjs86eastjs8627answer3.0Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:50:09 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Hardwood_floors_home_decor_Kelly_4955482171411/refinish_wood_floors_floor_used_735989197937609?src=rss:qb:qbi
