woodworking help
i've used the iron and towel method to bring up scratches on two small jbl speakers and two large ones. then i use howard's restore finish and then howard's wax and all have come out very well.
however, i decided to tackle deeper gouges in a hammond solovox which contains a speaker and electronic parts. i was successful in raising the gouges quite well but i ended up with severe water stains and have practically ruined it. i've tried mayo and a vinegar and olive oil rubbing but no luck. prior to my sanding the whole thing down, i thought i'd ask for suggestions to eliminate the water damage. i'm so mad at myself!! huge picture. thanks, mikeB [IMG][/IMG]

if the water damage has gone thru the finish, nothing will remove it short of stripping and sanding.

Why? Is that some old trick or something - I've never heard of such a thing.

water vapour gets into the finish and usually clouds the clear finish. When you put mayonaisse, peanut butter etc., the oils penetrate the finish and forces the water out. It works only when it's not too bad, but if the water is left on too long, its usually a gonner. Always worth a try first.

i've received recommendations as to not sanding as the veneer may not be too thick, but to try to scrap it off without making any further gouges. hopefully the stain is in the finish and i can strip it that way and refinish it.

well i wish to thank all who provided recommendations on my wood project. i ended up using mohawk no blush plus retarder to remove the white portions and then followed up with clear lacquer. note that the present white spots are from lighting. thanks again! mikeB
