Padding Lacquers?
There is not much difference in doing repairs on Shellac or Lacquer, as both as evaporative coatings and they dissolve in both French Polish or Padding Lacquers.
Do they sell "padding lacquers" in OZ?
They are used for both shellac and lacquer, I never hear any one mention them on this forum.

Padding Lacquers
Padding Lacquers are made "ready for use", and have a very long shelve life, they are applied the same way as french polish.
What we call a "pad", you call a "rubber", they both are used as the applicator to apply the "polish."
Some manufacturers use the resins of lacquer, varnish, or acrylic as their base, certain solvents depending on the different base, and a lubricant to make the padding lacquers workable. although, they are all called padding lacquers.

STREWTH! Some of you just seem to be hell bent on complicating everything to do with polishing and restoration.

Hairspray
Just got back from visiting my table (and my mum) and tried the hairspray trick (before I read the rest of the replies!). Well Mac, you would have heard me swearing from where you are I reckon. Sprayed the hairspray, a few short sprays, the mark disappeared before my eyes. Couldn't believe it.....then..... it came back with a vengeance. Pure white and all spotty. That's when the swearing started. Got my act together and remembered you said it takes a few goes. Tried it again and just like that, the mark is gone. It has been 3 hours now and not a sign of it returning. I haven't touched it as you said. Is there anything else I need to do now?
By the way, from reading the other posts, does this mean that it is not a shellac finish?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Elise, your welcome, thanks for reporting back....
Elise,
I am happy for you that it worked, it could have been anyone of the evaportive coatings, there would be no way of me knowing.
I thought I had mentioned about trying it first in a less conspicuous area then direictly on the damage to see if it would work by reflowing back after you had sprayed it on.
It should be OK now, just leave it alone, if it should come back, do as you have done, and be careful what you place on it, so it don't happen again.
Your welcome, your welcome, your welcome.
MacS
PS. Anyone, who tries this "method" your on your own, there are no guarentees, but as you can see it does work, its just another option to add to your repair arsenal..
