Removing shellac entirely is best fix for spilled liquor

摘要

Q: Spilled Scotch ate away the shellac on my table. What's the best way to fix the finish?rnA: For small or minor blemishes with alcohol, you can try blending in a new coat with a pad, but the best solution is simply to remove the shellac from the entire top and refinish it. Fortunately, shellac is easy to remove. Place doubled-up paper towels on a section of the top and saturate them with denatured alcohol. Smooth out any bubbles and then cover the paper towels with newspaper or plastic to slow the evaporation.
