I just spilled yellow acrylic paint on top of my dining table.
I removed most of it, but there’s some left in the grains of the wood I can’t remove.
Does anybody know how I can manage, before my wife sees it , destroys all my supplies before killing me?

brake fluid, buy a new table, buy a covering, cook dinner for your wife and put it ontop, repaint/restain
Uh…You’re in big trouble dude…
Seriously though, is there a varnish or poly-urethane finish on the table? Your best bet would be to clean it with either the manufacturer’s thinner or rubbing alcohol. This may, however, damage the finish on the table.
If you have the courage, try using either of the two that I mentioned on a hard to see part of the table, such as the inside upper part of the table leg, or on the underside of an overhang.
I’ll be on here for a bit longer and I’ll watch this thread for a bit.

Do you have any kids you could blame in on?
You might want to try lindseed oil. It may destroy and coating you have on the table though. If that doesn’t work, blame it on the cats. If you don’t have a cat, go get one real fast.
LMAO! When all else fails, blame it on the cat!

Why not blame it on the cat? [:)] Who is your wife going to beleive, you or the Cat? Well, come to think of it blackwolfscd, YOU would be in trouble. [:D]
Try using the sharpened end of a toothpick to scrape the paint out of the wood grain. Good luck!

If its a open grain wood like oak …good luck If its an closed grain like maple try some 1200 grit sandpaper and toothpaste and lightly buff
break the window next to the table and spread more paint in the floor and walls, and put some in a glass and brake it on the table spot.
Then it´s obvious that it was mede by some crazy vandals or terrorists, and you´re off the hook!
what do you think?
make sure you punch the window toward the table
I like the cat idea better. [:D]

With friends like us, he will never get his problem solved. But at least his wife will kill him with a smile on his face.
Speaking of blaming it on the cat…
If you really need one in a pinch, I can FedEx on of mine to you, I’ve got house rodents to spare!
And Berny, how many guys can say that they live in a cathouse? [:p] Or that they’re surrounded, 24/7, by p… I’d better not go there! [8)]

Thanks a lot to all of you for the good advice.
I have almost got it all out, but that doesn´t save from taking my wife to a cozy place on saturday to make her forget.
Just wanted to check to see if: A-the paint came out; B-you’e still alive; C-You were able to convince the local constabulary that a cat broke into your house, trashed the dining room and ruined the table…with a straight face

and the paint? how bout some moron shot the window and it hit the can of yellow paint while you were modeling on the table and it spilled al over the place but u cleaned most lf it up and then your cat/rat/mouse/pet knocked the paint over and you had to clean it up again?
heh, i have my own modeling room so i cant get introuble for spills! anyhoo i do have to support cats, 1 always hangs out wit me in there. i need to get him a resporator or he will get to much fumes or something,
I will blame it on Irak or Hussein, that`s the easy way out
