    I had a similar situation with my windows, I used santrax mixed with water at a ratio of approx 4:1. I sprayed it on to the window and you could see the concrete disolve and the varnish remained intact, then rinsed with water

    .im a painter and i see this problem a lot on new build houses where they have not sealed the timber before plastering.
    i really dont know of any way of repairing it as the concrete burns into the grain and leaves a black stain.
