I am sure everyone has accidently dropped epoxy on unfinished wood.&nbsp;

Seriously, no matter how quickly I attempt to clean it , it seems to have soaked in to the wood; I have used acetone and vinger, but still there are shadows of the drop.&nbsp; With plywood you could sand it, but the original patina will be lost and end up sanding the whole piece, or sand thur the layer.&nbsp; Any suggestions on how to deal with this problem we all have experienced?

I think if you epoxy over the whole piece that stain would go away but I would do a test piece frist.

They do go away if you are epoxying over the wood later.&nbsp; It happened to me when I epoxied the puzzle joints together on both of my wood duck projects.&nbsp; No harm done!!
