help with table finish repair

Posted by kps92 (My Page) on

Hi! Not sure if this is the correct forum, but hopefully someone can help. We have a table that is walnut stained without coating. A vinyl tablecloth with the felt backing was left on the table for too long to remember. Upon removing the tablecloth, fibers remained stuck to the wood. The table was in a location that received lots of sun, so we suppose the fibers melted onto the surface. We were able to remove some by gently using a scotchbrite pad with no apparent damage to the finish. Still, many fibers will not come off. Does anyone have suggestions on how to remove this without having to refinish the table? Thanks!

What exactly do you mean by "walnut stained without coating?"

Try Natural oil-based wood finishes for interior and exterior

Here is a link that might be useful: OSMO Polyx®-Oil (the original Hardwax Oil)

Hello kps92, as much that you'd like to avoid the refinishing, and believe me I've tried to do the short cuts too, in order to get the piece of furniture or whatever you happen to be working on to look superb,there is no substitute for starting from the bare wood and doing it right. Yes it requires more time, but the results far out weigh the cutting corners approach.
