It is probably french polish or a spirit based woodstain.  This is a solution of shellac in ethyl alcohol or methylated spirits it is used like varnish for protecting and decorating woodwork.  It was popular in the 1950's and earlier but only a restorer of old furnature would know about it now.

As a previous post mentioned...go to a college or even your highschool and have a chemist research it...you have to be careful as you know your skin what it did to it, and then drinking it...a thick gooey substance...ick!

Surely everyone has a local chemist....where do you get your prescriptions dealt with ?

Tony...why don't you take a photo of it and post it here ?...it's been nearly two months now and it seems we're no closer to figuring it out !
