andsome Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I'm afraid that 'er indoors has done a very stupid thing. She laid four layers of a towelling type tea towel onto our dining room table, and pressed a piece of dressmaking with a hot iron. We now have a pale mark on the surface. The colour of the wood is halfway between Tudor black and dark oak. The surface is NOT blistered, but has a paler mark on it than the original finish. Can anyone help please with suggestions as to how to remove this mark, or is it a job for a professional at umpteen £'s per hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhat Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Don't they have ironing boards in the 1920's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Don't they have ironing boards in the 1920's?Re the above postings. She does do these daft things now and then, and she is not even blonde. She says that she tried to iron the offending piece of material on the ironing board, but that it kept slipping off as it was silky. For some reason she thought the a towelling tea cloth would hold this silky material better, but why she did not try the tea cloth on the ironing board is beyond me. I have tried to discuss this matter further, but she gets extremely agitated, and appears to be extremely annoyed that I am upset that several hundred pounds worth of dining table may be ruined by her stupid actions. At the moment is appears that I am in the wrong for being annoyed. BLOODY WOMEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, she reckoned that the material was slippery on the ironing board, she didn't have the sense to try laying the tea towel on the ironing board. By the way I was cooking the dinner while she was ironing the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryala Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Andsome. Not a funny situation for sure. From my limited knowledge of wood working I know of nothing that will solve the problem as the wood has lost it color in that one area. It would be almost be impossible to get a good match. Looks like the stain has been lifted by the heat of the iron. Appears that a pro will be needed to correct the problem. The table more then likely will have to be stripped down and then redone. After stripping more then likely an air gun would have to be used to apply the new finish to get an even finish.Or a nice table cloth for Xmas might be the answer one that covers the whole table so the spot will no longer show. Just kidding.There are products out there that will cover or fill in scratchs but not for large areas. You might check with a cabinet maker in your area and see what they suggest. I have had problem with water stains on tables and ended up redoing the whole top.Good luck and let us know what happens.Grand Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
