Easy Scratch Repair

Posted: 4/29/2011

A scratch on the finish doesn’t have to mean the end for your end tables or other wood furniture. Just write off the problem with a special stain marker.

(NAPSI) - While the “distressed” look—slightly worn edges, light scratches and missing finish in spots-is popular for furniture and other wood pieces, it may not be the look you’re going for.

Fortunately, it’s easy to fix conspicuous scratches and other minor wood damage.

For light nicks and touch-ups on wood, you can get a Minwax Stain Marker—a marking pen−style dispenser that contains oil-based stain in colors to match most wood stains. Apply the stain to the wood and wipe off any excess with a soft cloth.

To repair scratches and nail holes in stained and finished wood on furniture, cabinets and more, try the company’s Blend-Fil Pencils. They come in a variety of colors to match specific stain colors. You simply work the pencil point into the nail hole, scratch or other imperfection and then wipe off the excess for a durable repair that’s virtually undetectable.

When you’re done, step back—you probably won’t even be able to find the scratch.
