[CAUT] Fw: water stains

[Willem Blees]

Paul

That's a horse of another color. I've nevere had to deal with that 
kind of repair before. You will probably going to have to get the lid 
refinished. 

This is a repair that should be covered under insurance. But I presume 
the university is self insured. Regardless who pays for it, this is a 
repair that should not come out of your budget.
