Thanks, guru's, as always... Multiple options: 1) Try the old warm iron and waxpaper trick. And if it doesn't work, then... 2) Buy the girl a decent desk. Doesn't have to be new. lots of good ones in the market as young ones grow out of them or leave for college. 3) Buy a table cloth. If you don't see the damage it won't bother you.. 4) Have a glass or plastic table top made if the table must be used for other than dining activities. 5) If appearance becomes a major consideration later on, consult a local cabinet maker about refinishing the top. It's likely they can put on a tougher finish than the original. 6) Celebrate the fact that homework is being done. There seem to be a lot of empty brained youngsters cruising the shopping malls these days. Be proud of the fact that yours isn't one of them. HTH Joe |
