    Yea, a wonderful tip, KC.  I will have to keep this in mind.  Thanks for all the tips, but she has managed to remove it the old fashion hard way,  Then she used a refinishing rub stuff ???,  and it is looking wonderful.  She is a whirl wind when she get a project in mind.  Maybe I'll have to take a few pics of it and post her progress.  For now she just wants to get looking good and then later think about a total refinish.  It does have a few Cigarette burns on the top, but other then that looks 500% better then my Saunders Press board one I got, that cost me $75.00.  Feel like a fool now, can get better looking and older furniture for cheaper then the new crap.  I think I will be looking into replaceing all my furniture.  Once again thanks and all you folks rule  ;), really am so happy to be apart of Antique History in the making  :D

New Update, looks like it is still sticky on the top,  She is about to try the Slighty warm oil trick, She is about to try mineral oil.  I would say wait for opinions, but she already at the stove as I speak.  ::)

Glad to hear the warmed oil helped.  I found it worked better than room temperature.  The real trick is to keep an eye on it and not let it get hot!

Have fun cleaning the glass....the adventure continues!
