    they've dropped a single drop of acetone on what I suspect is a modern two pac "oak" table. eaten a perfectly round spot about 1/2 cm into the finish right down to the bare timber judging from the photo he sent me.

    Can this be "invisiably" patched? I never worked repairing modern finishes.

    Sometimes, and I stress SOMETIMES you can repair a finish using lacquer sticks Lacquer Sticks - Lee Valley Tools
    BUT in inexperienced hands, it could all go pear shaped very quickly
