BUT...I was so excited to try this...and I failede. BUT...I didn't give up. I am not sure what the science is behind this, but I believe it has to do with the evaporation speed. If I just ironed and then lifted off, the center would be gone, but the edges were still there. So I would try to get the edges gone and I just kept spreading the circle bigger...ugh. Then I wet the cloth a little more (wet,but not soaked) ran the iron over it for 10 -15. Took Iron off, lifted cloth, put cloth back down and when it wasn't just cool enough to touch, I buffed with it until moister evaporated...WORKED...it WORKED!!!

It has to be "old-fashioned" toothpaste. Not gel or the liquidy kind, and has to be tobacco ashes. I have used cigarette and pipe ashes and they both work.I actually keep a tube of original Crest in my sideboard so I can find it when I get rings on my dining room table-have to hunt down a smoker for the ashes! Make a paste with a lot of ashes and enough toothpaste to spread it on. Leave a couple of hours, wipe with damp sponge and mark is gone. My grandmother and mother have done this to their antiques for decades and never a problem..also did it to several pieces in my sorority house in college...fail proof!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-64336856328204254552012-02-06T16:59:39.890-05:002012-02-06T16:59:39.890-05:00THANK YOU!!!!

Not being sure what the finish is, I was reluctant to use the iron technique. After reading the denatured alcohol I grabbed it from our pantry and used a cotton t-shirt to rub the spot. It worked!!!
