to ask WHAT THE JEFF HAVE I DONE TO MY TABLE??

[TwllBach]

WHAT THE FUCK

DP spent ages painting and varnishing this table last winter. I left a wet towel on it rolled up with a blanket I’d knitted inside it to try and block it, then took the towel off and it wasn’t like this I swear...

Then I laid the (cream) blanket on the table while it probably was a bit damp still and put ge place mats around the edges to try and stop it rolling. Left it for 24 hours.

What has happened????

More importantly HOW CAN I FIX IT??? Preferably in the next hour...

Cardboard nail file to sand watermark out then tsp coffee diluted in v little water mixed with any oil. Temp fix til propervarnish to match existing shade.

IT HAS GONE

You can only tell if you know now right?

Whoever said it will lift the water from underneath was right, as soon as I touched it with the iron, it was damp all over again

Have you got a family pet that you can blame for peeing on the table?

God no. Don't tell him. If he notices just gasp in horror .

Great

The warm iron only works that well with a really new water mark, but when it works it is bloody miraculous

Luckily he is used to me being a liability. I once told him a hilarious story about how I lost THE ONLY key to his van on a 10k muddy hike.

I told him three days after the fact, because I was lucky that someone handed t in to the cafe before he came back from his bike ride...

My wood floor does this if it get wets, then it disappears again when it dries.

Oooh, I LOVE a happy ending.

TOOTHPASTE! Seriously. Hubby put a hot pizza box on ours and killed my beautiful table with the hot steamy food.
He rubbed it with toothpaste and it went back to normal. I was f**g raging and considering LTB!

Me too, isn't MN wonderful some times, OP?

Thats like magic! I am so impressed

DH is the liability in our house. I'm remembering this! Brilliant work all.

Seriously pissing myself at chopped wood in it and knocked whole chunks out with the axe. And you say you're a liability, OP? Whatever gave you that idea?

baby oil (or vegetable oil) and vinegar in a jam jar, shaken up, and then applied with a soft cloth. it works instantly and is long lasting.

My parents had a varnished pine table when I was a kid. It always marked like that when it got wet. Disappeared as it dried. Don't panic next time 😁

You chopped wood in a slate hearth!?!? I can't get over that one.

Thank goodness you fixed the table.

mayonnaise doesn't take hours have antique side table always getting rings from vases and dh coffee mugs and it works in a few mins , OP its looking much better already you have it sorted

This thread has made me really happy!

Why don't you have an iron (misses point completely)

YOU DON'T HAVE AN IRON?????

Slate hearth sounds nice.
before it was ruined!

Wow. I’m always so impressed when people know things like this.
You must be so grateful OP, glad the table was saved!

I DONT HAVE AN IRON

Does it Blackrock ?

I shall annotate and amend my little "What the fuck do I do to fix that?" notebook

I'm the liability here too. Welcome to my careless world. I do have an iron though.

I once cut off 10m off the tv aeriel wire, when it came into the house through the wall from the roof as it was 'annoying me'. Also, reversed into our other car when DH was driving it, then just drove off.
Honestly no idea what goes through my brain sometimes.
