Chaps
We have a black iron stain ring has appeared on out beech kitchen counter top from a can of fly spray that was lying on the damp surface. I was going to try to get it out with oxalic acid. Questions:
1. Is this what I should be using?
2. If it bleaches out the stain, will it bleach the colour out of the wood so that I have to stain it to blend it back in?
3. Roughly how long does it need to be on for? Days, hours, minutes or sudden-death-it's-brilliant-white-in-seconds?? (stuff I have is marketed as a DIY shed wood bleach)
Thanks in advance
