Without going into detail(which would only prove embarrassing) I ended up with some rubber marks in the panel of a door in progress made by a dead blow mallet. Any suggestions on how to safely remove them. They are on the panel of the door which is just 1/4" oak plywood. I tried the old soft "ink eraser" but now worry about having done so.

laquer thinner
I was afraid that would only smear it. . . no interference with the gel staining later?
well, smearing is a possibility, so test on scrap.
gel stains are made to cover over stuff that absorbes unevenly, so you might be able to get decent results even if it does smear. again, test on scrap.

If you're staining it, why worry?
Try denatured alcohol. It won't dissolve it as quickly and may minimize any smearing.

Because it is highly unlikely that the undesirable smear will resemble anything natural. I would be less concerned if I were going to paint it with rustoleum or something equally dumb.
Thanks, i will tread lightly.
thanks, i will try one of those also.
