    Default Shellac water ring

    Welcome back viewers.
    We have just bought a beautiful blackwood buffet, the only problem is this FREAKIN HUMUGOUS WATER RING IN THE SHELLAC.
    Ok funsters, how do I get rid of said ring.
    I tryed a search, as any good forum member would do, but alas poor Yoric, I didnt find anything.

    Cheers, Al

    Al,

    Don't try to get rid of it.

    Make a feature of it, by outlining it in black Nikko, and drawing a smilie face inside.

    Cheers,

    And you're supposed to be a dedicated forum member - shame on you Al

    The answer is here all the time - Ubeaut polish Reviver.........if that don't work, nothing will.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Hi Al.
    If the shellac is still on the surface the marks are caused by the water getting between the layers of polish and you need to evaporate it. Wipe with Methylated spirit and light for a second or two maximum then blow out . You may have to do this a few times but it does usually work. Dont be tempted to let the meths burn out or you will begin to scorch the surface.
    If the polish is no longer on the surface and the bare wood is water marked then its back to basics and youll have to sand the mark out.

    Al
    Just read my post will ya, and buy the stuff. This has been covered before and

    I quote from the Ubeaut site:

    In most instances Polish Reviver will:

    * Nourish and protects and enhances the polished surface, giving most furniture a depth & clarity not seen since it was originally polished.
    * Remove water marks on polished surfaces
    * Colour and hide scratches on non stained polished surfaces.
    * Remove or dramatically fade white heat rings, etc. on polished surfaces



    I'm telling ya' it's the only solution............c'mon Neil, back me up here.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Whilst not the only solution it is by far the easiest and quickest solution and will work most of the times.

    I have tried it on three tables, worked on two but the third I had to strip the polish, sand and repolish after staining to match the rest.

    So I'm with Gumby on this, try the polish reviver.

    Al, try putting a thin cotton cloth over it and iron it with a hot clothes iron.
