I like to use a hand pad to scuff up and denib between coats of polyx, I'm not sure how effective it will be after it has fully cured though. I normally do it after 3 or 4 hours of application. Chuck it on a orbital sander to make it a quick job. I think I got this from a Peter Parfit video.

Osmo Polyx question.
I’ve put 2 coats down on the beech floor. It looks great, but it’s not as even as I’d hoped and we were probably a bit keen with the amount of traffic it had (I’m still trying to erase the memory of my wife putting two stonking dirty foot prints on it).
Can I rub it down with anything to help clear it up before I give it another coat?
Also, there is one slightly noisy board where there’s a tongue and groove butt joint that’s floating between joists that I forgot to glue. NB it was only those joints that I glued. Is it a fools errand to try and drill some tiny holes and syringe some glue in to try and stop it moving/making noise?
