Red oak boards being used as shelves. Was too wet and cold to sand,

and poly them so my husband put them up unfinished. Well he spilled his
beer on one. Will sanding be enough or will the spot rear its ugly head
when I get to stain and poly it in the spring?

Wipe *all* of the boards down with beer. Then it won't really matter
-- everything will look the
same in the end.

That's the best idea yet, but you probably just gave Mike a heart
attack by suggesting someone use beer in that manor!


Well, I don't know. We may have accidentally stumbled upon a decent use
for Bud lite. :-)



I thought the suggestion was to wipe down all boards with _beer_. Using
a pale straw colored concoction infused with alcohol probably is a poor
substitute for using beer.
