I finished a dining table with Endurovar. From everything I read it is durable finish, however after just 3 months of use it seems to be really susceptible to heat. My wife's laptop left a big white spot after sitting there for just two hours. After that experience and looking closer I can see faint white spots where the plates would sit. Needless to say this is quite disappointing not just for the work involved but because I really liked the topcoat - the color and ease of application.
I'm a little confused because everything I've read says what a durable finish this is and I've noticed it scratches really really easily. I'm almost wondering if I didn't get a bad batch. We're not hard on our furniture. I finished my previous kitchen table (new house, new table) with an oil based GF product and never had any abrasion issues in 5 years - and certainly nowhere near the number of scratches in this after just 3 months.
So to summarize:
1. Is Endurovar just not recommended for tabletop use?
2. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the white spots out?
3. Is this just a problem with a water based finish?
Thanks for your help!
