I used the mayo on a water spot on a black wood table. Now I can't get the treated wood to take new varnish. Any suggestions?

Were you trying to use an acrylic varnish or other water-soluble varnish? If so, the oil in mayo would repel the varnish. Try using a solvent-based varnish (the type where you need to wash your brush with turps). This should work.
