I have an easy fix that worked for me with my custom nail table. I had a sheet of glass (shatter proof) cut the exact size and shape of my table. It cleaned up perfectly with a razor blade for the times I used it as a paint palette. My center was sunk in for nail art display so I used to take my glass off and use Crayola Glass markers to decorate my glass. I used to change my themes with seasons and deals.
If you ever destroy your glass...you just order another one. The table can last you much much longer. :) Elaine Elaine T.
