--Previous Message-- : Hi Sandi, : Perhaps you didn't see my further explanation : regarding the formation of water rings : posted 9/19/01, so I will include it here. : But first, in response to your other : questions, I developed WOOD ELIXIR in 1995 : after many years in the antique : restoration business. I sold it : exclusively to dealers until 3 years ago : when I started producing a retail version. : Sandi, you have found the closest thing to : the 'miracle' you were looking for. Your : skepticism is not surprising. Most people : are at first. With your request and their : permission, I will put you in touch with : as many refinishing professionals and : antique dealers as you have time to speak : to, some of which are quoted on my : Website. Wood Elixir is sold with an : unconditional guarantee. (See Website) So : there is no risk in trying it. : White Water Explained (Response to Jacqui : (9/19/01) : --Previous Message-- : So that you don't run into this problem : again, : I'll explain how it happens. : When I say that the cups were warm, I mean : warmer than the table and not necessarily : warm to the touch. This temperature : difference will be increased if you have : an air conditioner running. Toweling dry : will not remove all of the moisture : especially in the porous portion of foot : of the cup. Now, when the cup is placed on : the table, a small amount of air is : trapped in space between the concave : bottom of the cup and the flat surface of : the table. This results in the creation of : a mini atmosphere. Since the table is : somewhat cooler, the trapped moisture will : condense on it much like morning dew. It : doesn't take much moisture, a fraction of : a drop, to cause the white marks. Shellac : finishes, therefore almost all antique : furniture, are the most vulnerable to : water damage. Lacquer finishes produce a : similar, although less profound, result. : Varnish finishes, including urethane, are : impervious to water. : White water damage can be reversed with the : application of Wood Elixir. Lacquer : finishes, being tougher, might require : more than one treatment. : You mentioned in a previous email that the : refinishing experts you contacted, weren't : aware of Wood Elixir. This is : understandable since Wood Elixir is not : sold in the US. But, if they were aware of : it would they tell you? If everyone used : Wood Elixir, many refinishers would be out : of business. : I hope this explanation is helpful. : Dr Woodwell : :
