Default How to dry wood (not firewood)

So I bought the girlfriend some flowers, she puts them in a vase and apparently it leaks. We take off for a few days and I get home and the table has bubbled up where it was. Any ideas how I can repair this?

I going to guess your table is a veneer wood because soild wood doesn't bubble


Syringe, high quality wood glue or crazy glue
Couple pieces of plywood bigger then the bubble
Wax paper , 2 clamps

Pics of your problem would help

Get a big enough syringe that can penetrate the veneer layer
Use a strong glue viscous enough to be sucked up with the syringe
Inject the bubble with glue
Take the wax paper , double or triple it up over the bubble
Put plywood or something similar over the wax paper & clamp
After it's dry remove claps , pealed off as much wax paper as you can
Then sand n refinish

It will not be 100% but probably good enough

Or you could remove the old Veneer top and replace it
But probably better off buy a new table
