About a month ago we had a storm and for some reason we took on a little water about 2". The float switch for the bilge pump must have gone out. I've since replaced it. I've used a chemical to try to dry out the paneling and a few drawers in the galley, but it's not working? Any suggestions to remove the water stain? Of course the fiberglass wiped right off, but when you go into the cabin anywhere there is teak paneling or drawers you can see about a 2" water stain. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Found this on the Internet:
How to Remove Water Spots From:
Wood

Rub the stain with petroleum jelly or boiled linseed oil. Repeat application until stain vanishes. Use a chamois to finish polishing the surface.

Came from http://home.howstuffworks.com/how-to-remove-water-spots.htm

I also hear Mayonnaise will work.
