White rings — or even white shapes other than rings — usually result from moisture getting into the finish, causing a spiderweb of minute cracks.
I recently noticed that there was possibly some moisture underneath a plant pot that has damaged my prized buffet table. The moisture created a little bump in the area. Is there any way to fix this?
Yes, the damage you see undoubtedly was caused by moisture, as were the less noticeable, probably older, white rings nearby. White rings — or even white shapes other than rings — usually result from moisture getting into the finish. That causes a spiderweb of minute cracks, which makes the area look white. Sometimes the cracks become almost invisible when the moisture evaporates. Bona, a company known for a line of floor finishing and cleaning products, suggests nudging the moisture out by gently warming the area with a hair dryer or a dry iron.
Not all water damage responds to these treatments, though. Sometimes the water leaves dark stains, not white ones. That’s a sign that the water has gotten through the finish and into the wood, where the moisture reacted with tannin and caused a stain. The only satisfactory solution then is to strip the finish, take out the stain with a wood bleach or by sanding, and refinish.
But before you try to flatten the bubbles, Fiedler Kawaguchi suggests that you gently sand the raised area to see if you can expose veneer that’s its natural color. Some veneer is extremely thin. If the veneer on your table is white all the way through, don’t waste your time trying to glue it down., which should be more than enough. With a utility knife, outline a small square on the tabletop with the white bubble in the center. Make repeated cuts until you have sliced through the veneer.
