We had oak hardwood floors put down with 1 stain coat and 3 non water
based poly coats.
We waited a week before placing anything back on the floor.

Now for my question, we put felt pads on everything the TV and stand
sat out a bit in the floor to hook up all the wiring about 2 days
before I set it back to the wall.

The felt pads left a kind of dull circles were the tv and stand was
sitting away from the wall. I thought that the felt was not supposed
to mark the floor. Anyone know why the pads are doing this? They are
nice felt pads but I am guessing wherever I use them they will still
leave a dull circle or square depending on the shape of the pad. Any
way to buff or get rid of the marks they leave? It's not like they
stick out bad the light has to hit them or looking directly down at
them you see them.

Thanks

The finish was probably not cured completely and is now ruined. FWIW
my refinisher recommended not using felts pads because they tend to
trap dirt which will scratch worse than a wooden chair leg without
them. He recommended the stick-on UHMW plastic slides.

Odd, after a few hours the felt pad dull circles went away, no sign of
them at all.
