How to fix cup water rings formation in stained desk?
We have three nested tables that are stained reddish brown.
They don't have any type of lacquer finish on them. Our grandmother has kept them for many years without this problem. The problem is that, since the tables were handed down to us, water condensations from the cold soda cup leaves a pool of water, washing away the paint. This is seen by the white circular marks on the table.What is a practical solution to solve and prevent this problem? Thanks |

This is seen by the white circular marks on the table. In addition to all the other posts which sound pretty cool, it might be that the finish on these is shellac. This is from http://antiquerestorers.com/Articles/jeff/shellac.htm: "Over time, shellac finishes can show surface scratches and other minor mishaps like water rings. These are very easy to repair with alcohol, the solvent for shellac." Obviously test first. Richard |

I know a bit about wood, and I can assure you that water condesations damaged the wood in the same way before the tables were handed down to you. The difference is not time, but that your grandmother didn't let such things happen. Don't blame the year or the cold soda cup or the water.
