A friend asked me to make a minor repair to a small table. It would have taken only a little while to do it. I had it sitting in the shop while I worked on something else. I was spray painting and the white Rust-oleum overspray got all over the table. Doh!!!
The table is stained and covered with a final protective coat. I don’t have a clue what the final coat is. I suspect it may be poly.
I have very little experience in finishing, none in matching/repairing existing finishes. I am open to all suggestions on how to proceed. Please be as detailed as possible. I did not give much info but I’ll supply as much as I can to your questions.
This is a pretty small table. It would be work but not a huge amount to sand it down and refinish the whole thing. I would like to keep that as a last resort. I do have a pretty good sized area on the bottom that is finished like the rest. I could do tests there to determine the finish type and how to proceed if that helps.
All help greatly appreciated. - Kevin
