I have talked and e-mailed Ian at HL and he gave me a part number and the ph# to Custom Wood. The Part # is for a brown/rust color that comes in a different HL. Anyway the guy at custom wood told me to sand it with 600 grit and refinsh it with a poly urithane. This even though they did not make it... I just find it very odd that we have used all kind of paper plates with no trouble and then we use the Chinette paper plates and wa la, white areas. It is like the Chinette plates sucked the black out of the finish. If this is a problem for us then other people will have the same problem when they use Chinette plates with eggs over easy and hash browns.
