My 5 year old and his friend got pen on the dining table and I looked up the Internet for advice on getting it off. One of the solutions I seen was nail polish remover so I tried it and now I've got 5 areas where I've completely stripped the finish from it. Ok so now with hindsight I know I've been a total idiot and I don't know why it never occurred to me that that would happen. Seems obvious now. The table is a standard dining set from Argos and on the website it says it has an oak finish and oak veneer. Is there anything I can do to repair it?

You might be able to wipe off all the finish and re-varnish, any patch attempt will be fairly obvious.
No easy solution short of claiming on the insurance.
 
Thanks, I'll need to check my insurance excess first. Might be cheaper to re varnish.
