I performed a miracle this afternoon. With a wet J Cloth and a steam iron, I cast a ding on the edge of my beech worktop into outer darkness. Never tried that before. Only took a minute. Amazing.

I have somehow developed a purulent pustule in a place that is most inconvenient. 
And I cycled into town for a new light bulb after the one in the dining room went *ping* this morning. Got forced off my bike at a junction by a numpty who seemed to object to the fact that I took up my position in a bike box at the traffic lights.

No, just on heat only. The wet cloth, folded about four times, was pressed against the beech with the iron providing the heat on top of the cloth. I was stunned at how quickly the ding went.
Edit: the beech had not yet been varnished or oiled so the steam could do its thing easily. With a finish on the wood, I think could have been more messy. Probably best to sand it down to bare wood. I only discovered the idea from a very old copy of Fine Woodworking magazine last night. I'm no expert. Good fun though. I've been searching for dings all over the house.
Sad, I know.

Soldering 'Irons' work just as well, in fact better if the 'ding' is on a surface as the heat is more localised.

Top tip! My ding was on a radiused edge so I could localise the heat easily with the tip of the iron. In the middle of a flat surface, a soldering iron would be much better. Thanks.
