Table top (1 Viewer)

[colmorangie]

Had a couple of damaged areas on my table which is a sort of a silver snake skin effect filled them and sanded them down to stop the beer, wine, whiskey and Gin from penetrating it.......but left with a couple of white marks !
I feel the way forward from here is to cover it with some sort of sticky back plastic (blue peter would have sorted this and I am sure however it would have incorporated a coat hanger)
Any suggestions must be wipable greepy easy to apply but most importantly CHEAP.
Thanks in advance

We bought a new table top from O' Leary's. It was £35. Not as cheap as a bit of fablon though.

Any chance of a picture of the damage/marks?

Try doing a search in Ebay for adhesive vinyl roll and lots will come up in the car section, it's tougher than stuff like Fablon which can easily crease when being applied and is easily damaged so not really ideal for a table top unless you intend to put a cover over it when in use.

Paint thinly with yogurt, the resulting mold growth should blend the white marks in perfectly

Plain or flavoured......

If the holes themselves are totally flush with the table top and the rest of the white marking is just dust/excess filler (which you should be able to removing with a damp sponge without touching the bits in the holes) you can try painting them to match - get some emulsion paint sample pots in the lightest and darkest colours in the rest of the table top and use these to 'disguise' the filled parts to mimic the rest of it, you probably won't get it perfect but it should be fairly close, better to let it dry then 'tweak' it then rather than keep trying to do it in one go as the paint will change colour as it dries. Once happy with it and it's totally dry put a small bit of matt varnish on each to seal them.

What about something like this, you could put one at each end of the table to balance it up.

You can get a product called (I think) colorfill which is for repairing areas on laminate worktops it comes in different colours .
Or you could get some artists acrylic paints to match and blend it in to make the white less noticeable.

Put a 'FUN' sticker over it.
