Question:

My wife says that you once recommended cigarette ashes to remove water marks on a wood finish. She can't remember how it was done. I'd appreciate the recipe.

Answer:

I don't remember making such a suggestion but I know that water marks go away like magic if you put a bit of rubbing alcohol on them and then blow the whole thing away with a hair dryer.
