You could try using a small artist brush and get a gel stain the right color and carefully try to draw in some smooth coverups. Use a dry one to draw off the stain.best way to repair?]
If you like the stained wood look, you could first try touching up the white spots with a paint color, and then use a gel stain to cover all, no stripping involved.I will like go the paint route since it is easier to touch up in the future. I'll post follow up pics when i tackle this project.
Great idea. So utilize an oil based paint that is similar in color, than follow with gel stain?If you like the stained wood look, you could first try touching up the white spots with a paint color, and then use a gel stain to cover all, no stripping involved.

Use the paint to fill in the light spots, or use a putty if too deep for paint. Lightly scuff sand the entire area to be stained. Try it on a small area to see if you like it. Follow directions on the stain.Great idea. So utilize an oil based paint that is similar in color, than follow with gel stain?
I have never used gel stain, but will it fill in the lower spots?
Once cooled, the shellac will not take stain in the way you are thinking. Using a gel stain, the shellac gets covered. In lieu of a lighter, which might occupy one hand, you can use an alcohol burner.I reseached the burn color options on mohawks website.. i am under the assuption that once the material cools it is set. Question: does the finished product obsorb stain in the effort of a cohesive end result?
Also- i will be utilizing the lighter and credit card since it makes the project a bit more fun.
Thanks to all in advance for the invaluable imput!
