How to Remove Liquid Paper From a Wood Table

Water-Based Liquid Paper

• 1

  Scrape up any large, thick blobs with a putty knife, taking care not to scratch the wood surface.

• 2

  Soak a rag in water and place it over the stain, letting the water penetrate the stain.

• 3

  Wipe up the Liquid Paper. Scrub at the spot with another rag damped with a mixture of soap and water. Dry the spot with a dry rag or let it air dry.

Oil-Based Liquid Paper

• 4

  Scrape up as much of the stain as you can with a putty knife. Be careful that you don't leave marks on the wood surface.

• 5

  Use a stain removal product formulated for petroleum or oil-based paints and markers. These are often citrus-based. Mineral water will also dissolve the Liquid Paper but it might remove the varnish on the wood or discolor it. For that reason, test the mineral water or stain remover on a small, discrete area of the wood before using it on the Liquid Paper stain.

• 6

  Spray or cover the stain with the product and let it saturate the stain for a few minutes. This will dissolve the Liquid Paper.

• 7

  Wait for the stain to start softening, then wipe with a rag dipped in soapy water. Dry the area with a clean, dry rag. You may have to repeat these steps for best results.
