I've had good luck with Oxalic acid, available at the drug stores. It's not as caustic as the peroxide/hypochloride type procedures, and doesn't put off as much fumes. You can apply it in any concentration you want, and it rinses clean pretty well, without transposing through the new finish any time soon. Couple of things to try, with any bleaching: >lightly brush the darkened area with a stiff wire brush before bleaching, with the grain, to enhance the depth of the grain >use extra lights, or sunlight, if possible >try to not sand too much, afterward, 'cause the bleached part is the raised grain. Good luck, have fun, and watch out for them chemicals! Guy
