Somewhere, someplace there must be someone that has had good luck getting
rid of dark areas in poorly maintained brightwork using oxalic acid. It has
never worked for me.....sometimes the black is a little lighter but not much
better.

I have some old varnished wood I want to strip down and reuse. This
wood
has black areas around the old screw holes. How do I get rid of the black
w/o sanding away all the wood?
Thanks

oxalic acid should take care of them...
