How to repair a scratch in veneer or laminate furniture

[@leelovely3903]

"You can keep your kids" lol. Thank you so much for this video. I can't wait to try this on my childs nightstand.

[@Biman_Goswami]

"Maybe not have them over as much" 😂😂

[@dmn5384]

+Dr. Biman And then close out like you're leaving a voicemail. I love this video.

[@SuperWarriorFitness]

Good effort but there is a way to get the scratch or chip completely invisible, use wood filler, sand it level, lacquer the colour back from where you sanded it, draw the grain back in with graining sticks/ pens or even paint them lacquer it again for a protective sealant 👌

[@andrewbeleckis8643]

Never underestimate the power of a black wax marker for drawing grain

[@resevil2396]

That's great and all but this technique is one anyone can do. Not everyone could do a good job painting or drawing grain back on

[@kenolson6098]

Yup that takes a good eye …. Layering color between laquer

[@Iknowyoumadnow]

Yeah, this was the lazy way.

[@jennyh92]

If everyone else is an expert, where are your videos? 😅 Thank you for this video, quick and easy 🙏🏻

[@lalaC959]

THANK YOU Sir! Finally I found what I need to fix my handrail!!! Just Cannot say enough about how much I appreciate your video!

[@Movingtips4you]

Leigh G. Thank you for watching. Glad it can help.

[@elisabethanthony3562]

I need to repair the top of a white laminate table with deep gouges. Fingers crossed your technique works. Thanks.

[@lennydegodoy476]

Perfect!After seeing some stupid videos I finally found what surely will help me!Thanks.

[@OhioRick1]

Deft Clear Wood Finish is a nitrocellulose lacquer and is not compatible with most modern finishes and may cause blistering or dissolving of the original finish. You need to know what you are working with before applying any topical surface finishes. Usually some shellac or some water based polyurethane will do the job without causing any problems.

[@2fas4ya]

Finally a video on repairing laminate THANK YOU😃!!!

[@Movingtips4you]

+2fas4ya you're welcome

[@rogcat7181]

Who knew scratches were so easy to repair 🙄. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge & video.

+Catrina Lasalle you're welcome Catrina thank you for your comment.

[@ayeshabashir277]

Thank you for posting this. I just scratched my laminate stairs and was freaking out.

[@goose7574]

I guess you could even use two colors to fill it, so it keeps the contrast like before. Thank you so much for the video.

[@Movingtips4you]

Very true. Thank you for your feed back.

[@ivaecheverria4430]

Awesome! Now I that I know, I can live with old furniture looking better. I will try! Thank you for the video!

[@timmcmillan8757]

Hi Adolfo, good job! I can barely see the scratches. Thank you for sharing... I like the way you said don't have kids over as much! LOL

[@Movingtips4you]

Thank you for watching.

[@spawn666reaper]

I have noticed that by heating/melting it after you rubbed it in, it will fill the space even better.

[@doecreekgirl191]

Thank you! I've moved a few times with few problems, but .. the last was the worst. Many nicks, scratches and dings to some good pieces, ill be trying your tips next week.

[@Movingtips4you]

i hope it helps

[@Monkeybear582]

Omg thanks so much for sharing this video and teaching how to do something simple.. you inspired me to fix on my own... god bless

[@damedesmontagnes]

You can use Howard's orange oil to clean up the wax.

[@davidyan7354]

Can you please do next video - " How to repair a damaged mattress in two minutes"?

[@Movingtips4you]

Gary Y it was a work bench 😆

[@meelahlowrey]

If its urine from child then Vinegar and baking soda. Saturate vinegar on stain then heavy amount of bakig soda covering entire areas. Let sit for 2 days. It wil dry hard. Vacuum off and stain is gone

[@Movingtips4you]

[@nukya]

Thank you! I just had my household goods delivered and had quite a bit of damage to my veneer furniture. This will help while I file out claims.

[@Movingtips4you]

+nukya ouch!!! Sorry to hear that. Well feel free to e-mail me pictures of your progress

[@johnjomp]

Nice and easy. I little graining with a china marker would have completed the job.

[@kiraspellman2421]

[@nadiaxantho]

I don't have that filling stick but I used a brown crayon instead and it worked pretty neatly, so thanks for the idea 😂😂

[@RoriRebel]

“Now you get to keep your kids” 😂😂😂

[@bsathya4]

Optionally you could have drawn some streaks with a sharpie before spraying the laquer.

[@beverlywilson8637]

Thank you so much for sharing , I panic when I see a scratch on a piece of nearly new furniture. Grateful ! 😊

[@Movingtips4you]

+Beverly Wilson im happy it could be of help

[@melissabulicek8671]

My table is very shiny. What spray should I buy? Glossy? Thank you for the helpful video

[@bobbg9041]

I can see the repair after you put on the spray, you can take a fine line of black or darker color to keep the wood grain where its only red and this would hide it even better. Almost invisible you would really have to look to find the repair. I take it the fill pens are made of a wax? hows this work with Poly? Poly's used on floors, but I've been using it on kitchen cabinets it holds up a lot better the lacquer finish also the more gloss the harder the surface this is also true with paint's from what I've read and seen.

[@Movingtips4you]

+bobbg thank our for your input.

[@AndreaKollo]

I have a strip mahogany veneer table over mahogany with light but annoying scratches. I am terrified of doing anything to it. Will this clear wood finish deal with those light scratches without changing color? It looks like you're is unnoticeable - can one spray and then go over it to make sure there are no drips etc? What a fabulous video - thank you so much!

[@nellya.9920]

Im excited to try this. Thank you for sharring and making it simple and imformative.

[@KylaFuller]

you can always use a stain stick (wood stain) to create more lines

[@Movingtips4you]

I agree, but with a very sharp point and a very light hand.

[@KylaFuller]

yes

[@jaylow1730]

Great video. The lacquer your using will that work for engineered hardwood floors. I have dog scratches on hardwood but I don't see woodboard like the second image u fixed. Just looks like an indent in the engineered hardwood. Your help would be appreciated.

[@SarahVillamizar]

Does the lacquer need to be rubbed in at all? Does it leave a residue on the table or make it less smooth where it was sprayed?

[@pjgarcia2417]

Hahaa! Keep your friends, keep your kids. Great video, thanks!!

[@Movingtips4you]

+PJ Garcia thank you pj

[@warrdog50]

Good quick tips, would have liked to have seen the dried results at the end though.

[@Movingtips4you]

Thank you. Yeah I was in a bit of a hurry. Next time I will.

[@ashleysnell7084]

Thanks for the video! I plan to try this on an antique dining set I've just purchased so this was helpful.

[@Movingtips4you]

+Ashley Snell I'm glad it helped. I'm working on the website so the fill sticks are more accessible to everyone in different colors.

[@Movingtips4you]

+Ashley Snell hope it works out.

[@ashleysnell7084]

+adolfo (movingtips4you.com) It looks great. Thanks!

[@maxlhalt1222]

i love how he did that all on his matress

[@Movingtips4you]

+maxl halt lol, it's actually a work bench at work. But yeah... that lacquer would help sleeping if it would of been my bed.

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

Haha I thought it was a mattress, too!

[@Movingtips4you]

😂😂😂

[@jimk5307]

[@blancomagia3380]

It was probably a customers bed LOL

[@marilyncampbell7055]

Are the fill sticks permanent ? Can I fill in a tiny chip with fill stick on corner of table edge ? Or do I need wood putty for that ? Love your video. 👍

[@Movingtips4you]

Marilyn thank you for watching the video. It doesn’t harden like hard wax does. But it will keep the edge form if you use it on edge as long as no one messes with it.

[@affablekitsune8131]

I really want to thank you for this video. I have this table that I love. But it has some rather large marks in it from moving over the many years and I didn't want to replace it because it's the perfect size for my family. I am going to Home Depot to get stuff soon and will try what you did!

[@Movingtips4you]

+Affable Kitsune I'm glade to hear that 😊

[@damedesmontagnes]

I have heard that Def is not durable, easily scratches, and blushes so may need to use blush eraser Better to use Mohawk precatalyzed lacquer? Idk to each their own. I may be wrong, that's just what I heard.

[@TheYoyozo]

Thanks for this video! Any recommendation for a very high gloss surface?

[@sharonsplat]

My daughters friend cut with a knife on my brand new table. I hope this works. Thank you

[@xavior_india_0891]

Thank you. The best and very useful video on this topic.

[@WonderWhatsNext]

Would this work for a wood looking covering on a TV stand? What I mean is it not a veneer type cover but more of a thin wrap over MDF board to make it look like a wood finish.

[@Movingtips4you]

Maybe just a brown sharpie market for that. It’s too thin.

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

Wonderful! Will the fill stick + lacquer trick work on a dining room table top that gets washed down daily, or will I need something more heavy duty to seal it? It’s a pedestal table with small chips in the veneer right along the center edge where you would drop in or lift out the center leaf of the table…

[@apurvgheewala7731]

if I have laminated color like blue red or tiger color then how can I remove scratch

[@ashwin81088]

Wood this work for car interior wood panels?

[@missfinsta5731]

I have a question, i got a desk and the top of the table wasn't real wood and my dad tried sanding it down, I'm pretty sure its a type of plastic with a laminate on top, is there a way yo fix the dark patch that was created from the sanding.

[@Movingtips4you]

Miss Finsta there really isn’t. It’s kinda like sanding a sticker... you can kinda go back in and match grain and color but it’s going to be a pain and uneven.

[@missfinsta5731]

@@Movingtips4you thank you for the insight! I might have to do that it's a decent desk.

what about a scratch going against grain...its only the poly layer. Do I have to send it out?

[@Movingtips4you]

+Settles Sweeties hmmm, try this trick, wet a small piece of cloth and rub over it. If it makes a big change over the scratch then all you need is a lacquer finish or the original type of finish.

[@elizabethbrooks5555]

We will try this tip. Thank you.

[@markmark2224]

Hi....does this work for bamboo floors with light scratches and scuffs?

[@Movingtips4you]

How do I repair bubbles in a veneer table top.someone set a pumpkin on it and now it's bubbled up.

[@Movingtips4you]

+Tom Mont Good evening Tom. Hmmm what happened to the veneer on the table is that moister got in between the veneer and the particle board and now it's either an air bubble or the particle board as swollen up from the moister. Please feel free to e-mail me a couple of pictures and we can go from there. [e-mail]

[@tommont1824]

I tried sending a pic, it came back.do you have an email that I can send it to.the bubbles are hard so I'm assuming the particle board is swollen.what should I do in that case?

[@silentseeker79]

does that work on a scatched hardwood floor as well?

[@Movingtips4you]

I doubt it just because of the fact that the fill stick doesn't harden to the point that it can take a woman's high heels digging into it.

[@Movingtips4you]

I doubt it because it's not a hard filling
