Haze on top of wood end table, anyway to remove it
Hi all. So awhile back my cat knocked over a soda on my end table which had a mousepad like mat on it. Suffice to say it sat there for a couple hours and left a whitish haze across the top. Was wondering what I could maybe try to fix it. I had tried a light thing of paint thinner but no luck. I believe its a veneer top (just something from City Furniture) so prob cant really sand it. Any help is appreciated. Thx
Keep the heat very low and don't hold the iron there for a long time. Veneer can probably survive short bursts in small areas. Stop if it begins to lift or if the glue is getting soft.
I tried this by wrapping a white cloth shirt around the iron head and then running on the top of the wood slowly. I even would let it sit for a few seconds in a spot but not sure I'm seeing any sort of change. Any other ideas? Or should I turn up the heat or increase the time in one area?
I think it is working. I guess I need to spend longer on each spot. Here is over the course of 30 min. Def some improvement. Its also a large area which Im sure is adding to the amount of work. Thanks for the help!
Good to hear that it is working. Maybe when done you should apply a light coat of furniture oil with a matching tint. I think a plain wax coating would highlight any differences that might remain.
I want to find a bolt like the one attached in this post. It has hex slot, the diameter is 1/4" in the shank. and the length is about 0.9". This is from a chair. I want to find a bolt just like this but with slightly longer shank--maybe 1.25" at most. The problem is this short bolt causes the chair back support to be tilted toward the front. If I can use a slightly longer bolt the back support can be pushed back a little bit. Can I get help finding the name of the product, and if possible, where to find this kind of bolt? I've tried to scour internet with no good result.

I need to put together some planks to make a ''table'. I make weights out of concrete but have limited space. So i want to put these tables above the buckets so i can put more buckets on top.
My original idea was to drill screws into it. I bought a new drilling machine, but it either wasn't powerful enough.
[b]Question 1:[/b] If it is possible to easily drill screws into these wooden beams, how strong must the drill be? So i buy a drill that has a battery or should i get a chord one?
How much power must it have? What should i look for?
[b]Question 2:[/b] I also need to drill some holes into my concrete wall to put up some shelves.
Do i need a specific drill for that? Or can the same ''powerful'' drill that i'll buy for the wood, do the job for the concrete?
[b]Question 3:[/b]What is an impact drill? Do i need it? Can an impact drill switch settings from regular to impact?
[b]Question 4[/b]: Someone recommended i simply use nails instead of screws.
However the nails that are long enough (4 inches) are all super thick. There's no way i can hammer those through the beams.
So is drilling the only way or should i look for long thin nails?

[b]Question 5[/b]: What ''table'' leg is more secure?
