Question
Dear Expert,

The other day I sat a hot casserole dish on our wood veneer table. Though the dish was placed on a pot holder which was placed on a towel, after removing the item from the table, I noticed it faded a small portion of the table. My conclusion is that the heat effected the finish. The spot has not bubbled or cracked, the color has just faded in a small circle. It went from a normal, oak colored brown to a cloudy brown-gray color in that one particular spot. I've scoured the net and have not come across any cost effective solutions to my issue. Can you provide any direction on how I can restore the color? Thanks

Answer
This is not an easy repair.You would need to get some rottonstone and work at the mark with it . You should be able to find some books at your library to show how to do this however, I would suggest that you contact a professional that does in-home repairs. You could end up really messing up the table.
Sorry I couldn't be more help,
Rob
