Festool mft and dinner

[electricald]

Hi guys,
I have an MFT3 table.
My better half and I had dinner and we ate at my mft3 I laid out a covering for her plate and I put this rubber like shelf anti-skid matting (that people line their cupboards with).
When I was done I saw the table had a raised imprint of the matting like a negative in it the size of the underside of the plate.
It’s not a heavy swell but a swell in the mdf none the less.
I am not home so I don’t have photos.
Can I flip the table over?
I had to leave and have been away since.
Or is there a fix.
Sorry but I didn’t have time to search this only to type this up.
I’d appreciate your help.

Hi, you could let it fully dry, then give it a light sand. Then apply a thin layer of protection to stop similar happening in the future.
You can, if ever need be, flip the top, and spin it end to end.

Mine got marked when some de greaser splashed it but, once dry, I sanded it and coated it with some Osmo oil. All good now.

MDF & moisture do not go together.
As Jiggy said, just sand the spot after it dries.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the help. It will be interesting to see when I get home what it will be like.

I'm guessing that plate was really hot. When you get home you may want to ask if she burned her mouth.
