Got a drop of super glue on my oak dining table. Wiped it right off &amp; there's no glue residue but finish is stripped/dull. Will this product help?

Yes, this product should help bring back the finish. They also sell a wax I recommend that will bring back the shine.

Have used this product on furniture in similar condition. I always use steel wool to remove the old finish, then I use an soft old towel to wipe off the mess. A lovely patina will remain in the deep grooves, but if you don't want that you will have to get down into it with a soft toothbrush.

I tried filling a glass with white vinegar and letting this item soak in it for a few days. That dissolved the external calcium deposits, and I suppose it helped rid the inside of such deposits, too. Doing that had no adverse effect on the finish.

It dulled the look of some pretty deep scratches on my wood table. I assume it will depend on the depth of the scratches as well as the material of the countertop. I would not recommend for other than wood.

I have had no problems with this dissolving any glue joints on the wood that I have used it on. Test an area to see would be my recommendation.

I was fortunate and didn't have any residue left. Try using a little goo gone. Don't really have anything to lose if you can't use it all sticky

Hi Ingrid: The finish on my table seems impervious to nearly everything. When I clean it, which is not often, I've used Lysol spray, Windex spray and plain old soap and water.

Didn't apply too much; problem is that you didn't remove it all. The finish should be smooth as silk and super bright. This is a CLEANER and a polish. It takes a lot of work to remove it all. Use a very soft cloth, but you will need to rub hard, and concentrate on one small area at a time. Also, don't let it get wet for 24 hours; it has to "cure". All worth it, though.

Hi Since you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

Yes, I love this stuff and have applied it to several table tops. I usually pour it right on the table surface and hand rub it with an old t shirt. Coats go on quick and thin but they also dry quick. After 20 minutes or so it is ready for another coat. Also, if the wood you tested on was not smooth or maybe not stained yet (bare wood) it may absorb faster or soak into the pores more than on a stained piece. This finish is nice for when you have the color you want and don't want it to change after you apply the finish coat. Polyurethane is bad about changing the color after application. This will leave a nice sheen finish with minimal color change. Like I said each coat is thin, but I honesty prefer this method compared to thick coats. After two coats hand sand the surface very lightly with a high grit (320 -400) to smooth it out. After this the next few coats go on very nicely.

I have the same problem. Like you I tried sanding. It helped a little but not very much. You might just want to resign yourself to living with the stains, not the end of the world. I suppose you could get it replaced but that might be a big project. Wish I could be of more help. To prevent the stains from getting worse, use John Boos Mystery oil regularly, it's good stuff. You can let it sit overnight which will help it get absorbed by the wood.

I think it adds a slight coloration to the antique table we are using to. But we like the effects. According to my husband, this is superior polish compare to others we have used also removes spots. Pls. Make sure to use clothes instead of paper towels & also, need to polish well after.

I would think it depends on what type of glue! Wood glue..."Elmers" try wet paper towel and soak it to loosen glue. Epoxy glue..no. It's epoxy....try a razor blade and carefully lift it off. DesolvIt works best on sticky substances, like old decals and sticker residue. It's the best for that! Good luck!

I did a really messed up leather chair. Let product sit over night. Worked great. Hope this helps.-

This is a great produce but I think you have to use it on unfinished furniture or fuiriture that has been stripped. I am not sure it will work well over an existing finish such as shellac or varnish or polyurethane.

Yes, but as with any cleaner, it'd be best to test it somewhere inconspicuous first.Not all wood finishes have the same durability. Particularly as this has to dwell for 10 minutes to disinfect, less durable finishes might not hold up.

I've used it many times over varnished wood, and had very good results. Most people, these days, seem to skip the middle steps of sanding and wiping down, and are pleased enough with the results. I prefer to do it old school and reap the benefits. Even 1-2-3 will adhere better if you break the gloss, first. Your end results are only as good as your preparation. If the chair is old, it may be shellac and not actually varnish. Zinsser also makes a shellac-based product called B-I-N. Both work really well.
