Don't know if others have had this problem but when I sanded my steps for refinishing I went through the original finish (or very thin layer of veneer I'm not sure which) in a couple of places with pretty light sanding. When I varnished them the looked like they had measles-all blotchy and darker in places. I had to remove all the old finish at that point and re varnish them. Made an easy project into a real project. They, in the end, look great but just be careful with the initial sanding.

That is correct. One of my guys talked to a company out of NJ I think that had bought the rights to manufacture. Not sure why it has not resurfaced, it performed well and got great reviews.
