Hi David.

Nope ! this finish doesn't stand heat neither moisture.  A cup of tea on =
top of it, and bingo you have an ugly circle trace on your beautiful =
finish.  To some people, this inspires respect for the furniture.  And =
to those who respected the furniture for decades, french polish cares =
for unbeatable shades of surface eye and touch pleasure features that =
are a gift to the next generation of owners.  No spray finish can claim =
for that.

Best regards,

St=E9phane Collin.
