Hello folks... I am a hardwood newbie and bought a house a few months ago that has extensive High end hand scraped hardwoods.

I have begun to notice some peeling of a few plasticity type material in some areas where the wood pieces join together. If I peel with my nail it comes out and spreads and almost feels like some kind of coat on top of the wood that is starting to Crack. The floors and the house are 13 years old.

Can anyone tell me what it could be?

Someone tried to recoat it to make it look good for the sale and didn't prep it properly. You will have to get a pro in your area to come in and assess the possible what has to be done.

MORE than likely it will need to be redone..assuming this was a prefinish then i agree with Jeff..but ti appears to be site finished to me and i see no evidence of handscraping..

if the stain was applied on site, the stain never dried when it seeped between the boards and later gassed off into topcoating causing this at the seams.

if this is the case it is correctable without a full stripping of the floors,,if it is peeling at the seams then spreading across the face and peels easily, the job needs to be stripped down and started from scratch.
