I was thinking some transparent filler maybe, and grinding/polishing it down? There’s some varnish on the wood anyway.

    There’s the “right” way and then there’s what’s practical. Here’s the “right” way:

    Rough sand the entire floor to wood. Fill the voids with Starbond CA glue of the appropriate color, low viscosity for leveling. Fine sand the entire floor. Refinish with oil-based polyurathane.

    If you know what you’re doing then this will take three days, most of it dry time. If you don’t know what you’re doing then one way or another you’ll destroy the floor during rough sanding.

      Thanks for that expert advice - let’s consider the scenario where I don’t know what I’m doing, and I just want to avoid my landlord deducting too much from the deposit when I move out, what would you recommend?
