Spilt Bay Rum
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if you could help me. Recently I spilt some Bay Rum over my dark oak dressing table, which left a white mark and spots. I haven’t tried anything yet, as I wanted someone’s advice.- Jean (Putaruru). I consulted a good tradesman about your problem, Jean, and I find that you will probably have to buy a good OilStain Varnish, and go over the whole top of the dressing table with it. The original spirit-stain has degenerated under the Bay Rum, and thus caused the bleached marks. However, there is one chance. Mix together a little vinegar and linseed oil-one part of vinegar, and 3 parts of raw linseed oil-and try that on the bleached spots first. Very possibly this will do the trick, and save you a lot of bother. Let us know how you get on, won’t you?
