Damp cloth

Sandpaper (if needed)

Step 1

Preparing the Area

  • Carefully remove any paint chips or wood splinters from the damaged area.
  • Clean the area and remove any debris.
  • Wipe down the area with a damp cloth and let it dry thoroughly.

Step 2

Filling the Gap

  • For chips wider and deeper than 1/4 of an inch, use the wood putty to fill the gap.
  • Cut off the required amount of wood putty and knead it until it becomes a uniform color.
  • Apply the putty within 2 minutes after kneading. Press the putty firmly until curing is noticeable. Do not leave a bulge.
  • For a smooth surface, rub the area with a damp cloth prior to hardening. After 1 hour, the wood putty can be sanded, tapped, and drilled.

Step 3

Matching the Color

  • If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide found in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture in the empty mixing jar.

Step 4

Applying the Repair Compound

  • Apply the repair compound to the damaged area. Start by applying it along the edges and work from the outside to the center to avoid air bubbles.
  • Use the spatula for larger applications and the brush for surface applications and detail touch-ups.
  • Smooth out the surface and wipe off the excess with a paper towel.

Step 5

Drying and Additional Layers

  • Allow several hours for the repair compound to dry until it is no longer sticky to the touch.
  • If needed, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the surrounding area.

Step 6

Optional Texturing

  • If your wood has grain patterns, designs, or texture, you can recreate them using the small brush and dark colors like Walnut, Mahogany and Black.

Step 7

Maintenance
  • Avoid placing hot items directly on the table surface, as this can cause discoloration or warping.
  • Use coasters or placemats to protect the table from scratches and spills.
  • Dust the table regularly with a soft cloth or brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a mild cleaning solution and a damp cloth to clean the table surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Apply a coat of furniture wax or sealant to the table surface to protect it from scratches and spills.
  • Keep the table out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent discoloration or warping.

And that's it! Your chipped wooden coffee table has been successfully repaired and is ready for use. Show off your handy work to your friends and family the next time they come over. Don't forget to visit coconix.com/resources for more tips and tricks on furniture repairs. Happy repairing!
