So a few weekends ago I went sailing with friends and had the usual good time. Apparently one of them spilled a good amount of vodka on my salon table. They cleaned it up mostly but didn't get it all I guess. The alcohol ended up leaving a large white clouded area on the center of the table and the port side leaf.
So this past week I tried to fix it like I have done before. I lightly sanded the area to remove the white cloudy spots and when that was gone I cleaned the area and used Minwax indoor polyurethane on it. I've done this before and it came out fine but this time I could still see the spots I sanded down. They show up as a more brown area that's the more reddish existing finish. It's apparent there's a problem.
I believe that the finish Beneteau used on the boat must have a tint in it in order to get a consistent finish. I'm guessing i sanded all the way through the old finish into the wood this last time. My table is made of teak veneer plywood with mahogany trim. The mahogany comes out fine if i sand it down all the way but the teak that I redid is not as red as the undamaged starboard leaf even after many coats. Any suggestions on what finish I could use to make this match again?
