Rich on Jul 19, 2013First try using Mayonnaise to rub out the water stains. Then if that doesn't work, then strip it and refinish it. The stains are in the finish not in the wood.Helpful Reply

Therese C on Jul 20, 2013I remember a trick my mother showed me many years ago. If you gently sand the wood and take care to keep all of the sanding particles, you then can mix the particles with enough varnish to make a paste (not to thick) and paint brush it back on. This will fill in the pieces and still match the exact color of the wood. Once you have applied the paste, gently clamp the area as close as possible without getting the clamp on the wet paste. By morning it should look like it did before the damage. We used this trick for filling in gaps between narrow oak flooring and parquet floors with beautiful results. It is a miracle worker on all furniture/floors, but takes practice to get it right. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Sia@South 47th on Jul 20, 2013@ Particle board? If it is Particle board, you can't save it. Solid wood is quite another story and can, with work be saved. You are saying Particle Board and Solid wood, hence the confusion luv.Helpful Reply
