I have a QSWO dresser that I am refinishing, and am about to begin the re-application of finish, except when I wiped the piece down with MS, I noticed some staining on the top. The stains are not noticeable on the dry wood, but when moistened with MS, they become evident. I've tried more sanding, but haven't made much change in the stains. Most of them appear to be circular, like something was set on the original finish, leaked, and penetrated the wood pores. My question is, can oxalic acid possibly get these stains out without removing the natural wood color. I am planning to first dye the dresser with a WS stain, then seal, apply a gel stain and then apply a finish coat. Any suggestions? Since this is a refinishing job, I don't have some additional material to experiment on to see the effects?
Thanks,
