    I’m in a nice hotel and left a glass of water on the wooden desk like a dummy because I thought it was coated in poly. Wrong! I used the iron trick very carefully on the medium heat setting, checking it frequently and constantly moving the iron over the shirt. It worked!!!!! Thank you and praise Jesus! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

      ThisIsTheEnd Same here, nice hotel...sweating beverage. I did not have access to an iron but instead used a blow dryer and dry wash cloth and it worked. I heated wood and then placed wash cloth over it and rolled an orange across the wash cloth for the heat impact effect.

    This just saved my special table after years of trying all the others! I bought my first really nice table 4 years ago and my son ruined it with a hot cup of coffee while I was out of town. More damage followed from my other kids. My mistake for not having a glass topper. I have been so mad for 4 years, and tonight I restored my Scovby Danish table using this technique with the lacquer thinner and stain. So Thankful for this video!!!!

    I came home this evening to find my wife furious because I left a bottle of spray cleaner with bleach that had a slight leak on her grandmother's dining room table. It had left a white ring on the table around the bottom of the bottle and after trying to scrub it off with no success I turned to UA-cam and came across this video.
    I just want to say thank you for creating and posting this video, I tried the Restore a finish along with the Lacquer thinner as you instructed and after about five minutes of light scrubbing with 00 steel wool, the stain was gone and you could not even tell it was ever there.
    So again thank you so much for your break down of what works and what doesnt, it saved me a ton of time trying to figure it out.

    All the other videos say to use low heat on the ironing. I used the medium heat as you suggested and was able to watch the heat/water mark disappear as I worked. This was a large mark made by a coffee maker that sat here for over a month. Thankyou sooooo much. This was the absolute best method ever!!!!!

    Absolutely stunned. I had a mahogany table with a white/pink/purple water stain on it. Saw the 'ironing' method on here, and gave it a go. I didn't believe it could possibly work (and didn't really think anything could on the horrible mark). I was totally stunned by the result. The main mark completely disappeared, and I've been left with a slight ring on the surface. Thank you so much.

    It worked!
    Very pleased with the result and minimal cost. Just 10 mins careful heating.

    Oh my goodness. This video saved my sanity (and my relationship with my daughter who SHOULD have known not to put an extremely hot bowl on the table!). I hesitantly used the iron method first because I couldn’t get the Mohawk product to ship to me. The iron method worked great - the table is fairly new and the ring was not too deep. I will be looking for Mohawk for my older pieces and/more severe rings. Thank you!

Had three tables badly damaged, SEVERAL spots and the iron took care of them all! Thank you so much. Ps. I'd heard before that a hairdryer works as well, but I don't own one, so that's why I gave the iron a go.

    I would love for you to make a more informative video describing the different actual finishes and which meathod works with each different finish ie: Lacquer, polyurethane, shellac Etc. and why it works. I feel that the overall method of trying many things to see what works can possibly be very damaging to your furniture if you use the wrong technique. This is exactly why I want to be informed with exact information so perhaps a video for not just a regular homeowner but a woodworker or someone with a little more expertise in the craft that still needs knowledge in finishing.

Two minutes later I found your video, grabbed a cotton tee and my iron and in less than 10 mins on low/medium heat, the table was restored. The luster was not impacted, I did not have to polish it. Follow the instructions, "keep the iron moving" and "apply medium heat". Thanks alot for this tip.

    I have a circe stain on the top of the wood case of an 80 yr old antique radio. Probably try the iron method as I must maintain the original look of crackled and worn finish of the redt of the pirce. The thinner etc method is good for making things look like new as it sort of disolves and redistributes the finish 11:14 in

    Great video!! Thank you!
    I tried the hot iron technique - it didn't work. Then I tried the Howard Restore A Finish - it doesn't lift erase the white marks - it instead darkens them & they look terrible. I'm trying to buy the Mohawk No Blush but no luck finding it yet. Keep you posted when I do. Thanks again!
