Did the manufacturer of my dresser try to imitate fly puke or crap in

real nature of "fly specking"?

Even more amazing, is when you see printed fake wood with that effect.
I just don't get it; I'm one of those people that think that wood should
look like, you know, _wood_, and if you want a red wood when you're done,
you should start with a red wood; if you want a dark wood when you're
done, start with a dark wood, that sort of thing.


Maybe it is my hydroponic lettuce again, but I was always under the
impression that the 'specks' were supposed to imitate worm holes.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that the 'chewed by bugs look' is what they are
after. Fly**** has little appeal to the trompe d'oeil artist. Worm
holes, on the other hand, can be intriguing. (Wrong forum to be
discussing travel to other dimensions and all that rot.)

When faced with fly**** on your melamine, you will find out that laquer
thinner barely touches (removes) it. Same with denatured (Methyl
Hydrate) alcohol...but if you use water, it wipes right up!
Betcha Martha didn't know that.
