Repair Dining Room Table Acetone Damage?
HaRuMaN:
So... being the dumbass that I am, I was working on a RROD 360 on the dining room table. I was using acetone and a toothbrush to remove excess thermal compound from the chips (the compound was shorting the resistors).
Then, I knock over the acetone, and spill about a 12" diameter circle on the wood table, which promptly ate off some of the finish. :banghead: :banghead:
What's the best way to go about repairing this? Currently I have the tablecloth on there so my wife doesn't see it...
HaRuMaN:
Lighter fluid, noted.
Any way to just refinish the spot? Maybe clean it up with some 000 steel wool and re-lacquer?

While that should work, getting a perfect match is next to impossible.
If it were me, and the table was more than say 5 years old I would refinish the table. This time of year I'd probably put a table cloth on till spring though...

Cut out the damaged area, put in touchscreen...table jukebox.

Trick your wife into setting a hot plate onto that spot so she thinks she did it...then if you fix it your a hero if not your at least not in the dog house.
