If you look at the top image you can see a whitish sheen across parts of the front. Unfortunately, this is not a reflection of light, it is a white stain in the grain of the
wood. There was a strange plaster, with a white mesh incorporated, stuck to parts of the cabinet. Not sure if it was a construction product, but it looked a lot like a
cast for a broken bone. Anyway, I
had to scrape that off with a
sharp paint scraper and then go over it with 200 grade sandpaper. I am working with high
quality furniture polish to try to get it out
bit by
bit.
