  Peter, I had a little discoloration around screw holes; but, compared to other areas damaged by mildew it was light.  Except for all but the worse of the mildew stains, I was able to bleach out most of it.  The finish I used helped to diminish the color differences in such areas.  Yes, I was very careful to not over sand the veneer.  Yet, I had some areas that were delaminated and the veneer was heaved up and cracked.  I was able to repair and reglue these areas to my satisfaction.  After all, it is only a floor and 13 yrs old at that.  Still, it looks great, now.  

  If you want some pictures and copy of the article I wrote, not yet posted on the 320 website, let me know and I'll e-mail to you directly.
