Hi, I had a cup of acetone (nail poilsh remover) and didn't realize said chemical would melt the cup. Now there is a nice burned away spot on the wood (my cousin's table, mind you) where the finish no longer exists. we colored over it with permanent marker, and it looks ok, until the light hits it the wrong way. I'm in Israel right now so I can't get any particular brand name of anything, but can anyone suggest a solution for me? I was thinking to buy gloss and just go over the dead spot with that, but I don't want to mess it up more and am unsure how to go about that and make the edges of the spot match the rest of the table. HELP

The difficult part of matching the finish is that each manufacture of furniture uses their own blend of color. Along with their own method of final coat and drying method. If your looking to make it look new again you will need to completly remove the top finish and re-do it entirely. You will never get it to match perfectly any other way.
I do not suggest that you attempt to fix it any more. The more you attempt to cover this opps, the worse it will look.

that really *****. thanks.

yeah.. what he said... whatever he said... i guess you had the same problem?! or you're just offering sympathy?
