Heat ring on oak table

Muppet81

I recently bought a second hand solid oak table which is generally in pretty good nick to say it is about 80 yrs old.
It does have one heat ring on it and I tried today with a JML Wood Restorer product which claimed to remove heat rings. It does not seem to have done any good.
I can't afford to pay to have the table re-polished. Does anyone have any old style tips which might help?

I don't know if this will work but my daughter once had a white ring on a polished table and I managed to get it out by using toothpaste. You just rub in it with a circular motion using a dry soft cloth, do it a little at a time then afterwards buff it up and polish. The toothpaste is just abrasive enough to remove the whiteness but not too strong to damage. It took quite a long time as you have to do a little at a time.

Thanks PancakeQueen,
I will see if I can pluck up the courage to try that in the morning.

Just got 3 heat rings off a table by using half part olive oil and half white vinegar- worked a treat after trying the toothpaste method which helped slightly but not completely. :j

Take a good dollop of mayonase on a paper kitchen towel plonk it on the satain leave it for a while (not sure how long is best) then wipe it off and polish. If not ompletely removed do it again.

Works most times for me.

I've read that cigarette ash works. Though not being a smoker, and ash being difficult to get hold of, can't say I've tried it.

Will be trying toothpaste and olive oil on a Freecycled table that I have, with a similar ring (I keep it covered by a bowl ).

I find a little wax with Briwax does the trick it doesnt get rid but it makes in very faint untill the next time you polish.
