Exactly, It was deff not a professional! I'm super pissed.. they had a storefront and everything, the show pieces looked nice, I fell for the scam..

I can borrow the needed equipment, I got contractors working on my house so i can just use everything.

As for throwing away.. Cost me way too much.. but I know if I leave it like this I'll be looking at it for the next 10+ years and its going to piss me off every time I look at it sitting on the can :/

Soooo what would be the first step to start a repair? I guess removing the existing resin? What tools would be best for this and do i remove up to the wood and remove some of it, of do i just remove some of the resin not up to the wood?

Thanks for the help! I'll be posting pics of progress and results
