The blistered area is in the middle section of the table is veneer so I can't sand it.

I tried meths and this had no effect. The finish definitely isn't wax because it's flaky. I just tried acetone and this was really effective. Am I right in thinking this indicates the finish is either lacquer or shellac?

Can anyone tell me what they think the finish is on this coffee table? I think the outer section is solid wood but suspect the middle section is veneer. Part of the middle section is water damaged and has blistered. Any suggestions for repairing the finish will be gratefully received.
