A:  By chance it might help, but I'd buy a product which is marketed as a deglosser. The deglosser works in a wide variety of situations.

A:  I'm assuming that your plastic covering is a piece of Plexiglas and not a polyurethane coating. I put a glass top on a painted table and used clear (thin) rubber bumpers to keep the glass from sliding and also allow a small air gap. I suspect that humidity caused the damage to your table's finish. Naphtha may clean the surface, but I would try it in a small area first. There is no way that I know what your original finish is. You may need to refinish the table top. I only use naphtha when making a batch of wipe-on poly. 2 parts oil-based poly, 1 part naphtha, and 1 part boiled linseed oil.

A:  Check the paint can for thinning recommended amount. It also depends on your method of paint application. I would expect that no more than a half pint of thinner per quart of paint.
