what can i do to remove iron heat mark on honey pine?

Question

i tried to remove dents on my honey pine drawers with hot iron and wet cloth but have now turned the wood white how do i get rid of these marks

Answer 1

I am guessing that the wood has a protective coating (Poly, shellac, varnish etc) on it. Using the iron has raised moisture into the coating. Use a fine grit steel wool (not the soap pad type) and rub the area until the white is gone. You will need to refinish the area.

Answer 2

If you use some fine grit sand paper, That will bring the color back, however, you will have to re-finish that area.
