Whatever you decide to use, place a dab on the felt that is out of sight to see if there are any ill-effects *before* applying it to the stain...

lay a whole new layer of felt? or tell him you had a few friends over and one dumbass spilt something and you will try to clean it as good as you can.

honesty doesn't always hurt

reminds me of when i was in college. my buddies parents went out of town and he was house sitting so a few of my friends and i went to his house.

we had a spagetti dinner followed by some hardcore drinking of wild turkey 101. we dared my friend to slam it so he did. poor bastard slammed at least 1/4 bottle! ten minutes later he threw up on his living room carpet and we told him to just vacuum it up so he did.

he ruined the vacuum while spreading a small 1ft red stain into about a 1ftx4ft red stain. then he decided to rearrange the furniture to hide it, but his parents figured it out by the smell coming from under the couch when they got home

his parents made him recarpet the living room and buy them a new vacuum

You can be partially honest. Say you were passing a drink to *one* friend when *she* (make sure its a girl so as to help soften the blow) hit your hand while reaching for it and it spilled. Remember, it was *her* fault - not yours, but you, being the responsible guy you are, will do everything you can to remove the stain. And, if it cannot be removed, you promise to get the felt replaced.

It's just the felt dude, it can be re-felted- If it's an antique table and he cherishes it, I'm sure he's re-felted it plenty of times..

or just wash it. otherwise you will have a clean spot and it will still be noticed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

fwiw i have a 8' pool table in my basement and refelting can be quite expensive and an "antique" table possibly even more

plan on spending $300-500

Oh, and just to add to my extremely bright idea, once the initial shock has worn off, ask his advice on what the most efficient way to get the stain out would be. By asking him you are showing your respect for his intelligence and experience with his prized possession. Not only that, but if he decides to do something and it screws up, it was his idea to do it.

Sounds like you've done this one before..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
