Need help removing stain on worktop

[HadAGo]

Hello,

I'm looking for some help removing a stain from my kitchen worktop, I say stain but I believe it's more that the varnish (or coating) has been removed.

I attempted to repair something last night and although I put sheets down superglue has kindly made it's way to through to the kitchen top counter, having very little DIY experience I panicked and did what I could to remove it using nail polish remover and a knife, as a result as expected I've marked the counter in a few places, these are very light scratches and I think I will be able to cover them fine with a marker.

My real issue is that there are areas with white marking and I've tried a lot to get rid of them but now I'm stuck and it looks a mess, my only hope is that they do go when wet so I'm thinking that's a good thing but could be wrong.

I've tried more nail polish incase it was glue residue, polish, car wax, heat but nothing makes a difference.

I'm thinking now that it's a case of re-applying the layer of varnish / gloss / whatever it is but I'm not sure what product I actually need, I've spent all day looking for videos etc but I'm not able to find a match for a similar counter, it's not solid wood like the ones I see on the internet but it also doesn't look like any of the laminate ones..

I will upload photos in a moment.

Any help is appreciated!

An off the wall suggestion??

You could make an Insurance claim under your Home Insurance policy, under the "Accidental Damage" clauses?

You could try a permanent marker in an appropriate colour or a car paint scratch remedy, they have some that are like a wax crayon.

Try these . I fix worktops, furniture and floors they are good. There are other touch up sets that will also work for other surfaces like composite windows and doors. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions, I have looked into the markers for the cuts and I believe they will do the job for that, but any ideas how to restore the lacquer or varnish to keep that wet look? - There must be a way I just done know what the coating was originally.

Once you have restored the base colour, everbuild has a clear enamel gloss finish that would do the job. I personally have only used this product on kitchen doors but cannot see why it won’t work.

Thank you for you reply and screenshots, that product seems to be in white and I am unable to find a clear gloss by that brand. I'm going to try a wood varnish first although I know it's not wood it might replace the varnish.

Failing that I will try lacquer as unable to find in liquid and I don't think spraying will be as accurate as applying the varnish with a fine brush.

Delivery is over a week but I will update the thread if it works incase anyone else gets stuck in the future.

How about trying it underneath on an edge where it wont show. That way you could have a practice to find which will look the best. If you only need a small area doing you could always spray some lacquer into the lid of the can and apply with a good quality artists brush.

Sorry Hadago, sent you the wrong link!

That’s a good shout Old Salt!

No worries Johnny Allround, funnily enough that’s the exact one I ordered!
