--Previous Message-- : Yes, you are right on, re: mini atmosphere. I : very much agree with the ac/ theory, but : even without the "warm" factor, : the moisture ring is there. If : application of a blush eraser were to be : applied, at room temperature only, would : this not be a more reasonable treatment : than the one recommeded? I'm all ears. : Re: elixir, where has it been sold, if not in : the u.s.? Of course I could only assume : why other professionals are not possibly : passing around the name of this product, I : know as well as anyone that somewhere, : someone would have let the word out. I : would love to hear from other refinishers : about this product. Could you tell me if : you think it economicaly feasible, to the : professional : refinisher or would it be only useful in : certain types of problem cases? Thank you : Sandi : : : nditional 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 : : : :
