STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

Gently remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the damaged area of your coffee table to create a clean surface for the repair.
Clean the surrounding area thoroughly to eliminate any remaining particles or residue that could interfere with adhesion.
Use a damp cloth to wipe the area, ensuring it is completely free of dust and oils, then let it air dry fully before starting the repair process.

Step 2: Applying the Wood Putty

For chips larger than 1/4 inch or 0.6 cm, use the wood filler epoxy putty to fill the damaged area.
Cut off a small portion of the epoxy putty and knead it thoroughly until the color is uniform.
Apply the filler to the chips immediately after kneading to ensure proper adhesion.
Smooth out any excess filler to avoid bulges and press it firmly into the damaged area.
Allow the filler to cure as per the instructions until it hardens and becomes stable.

Step 3: Mixing and Matching the Color

Consult the Color Mixing Guide included in your kit to create the ideal shade for your coffee table.
Use the provided empty mixing jar to combine the colors as per the guide.
Mix the colors thoroughly to achieve a smooth and consistent tone.
Ensure the color matches perfectly before applying it to your coffee table for a seamless repair.

Step 4: Applying the Repair Compound

Evenly apply the repair compound to the damaged area of your coffee table, starting from the edges of the chips and working inward to avoid air bubbles.
Use the spatula for larger chips to ensure a smooth application.
For detailed touch-ups or smaller areas, use the brush for precise and controlled application.

Step 5: Smoothing the Surface

Smooth the surface of your coffee table using gentle, even strokes to create a seamless and level finish that blends naturally with the surrounding area.
Quickly remove any excess compound from the undamaged portions of your coffee table using a clean paper towel, ensuring no residue is left behind.

Step 6: Drying and Additional Layers

Allow the repair compound on your coffee table to dry completely for several hours, ensuring it is no longer sticky to the touch.
If needed, apply additional layers to build up the chips until it is flush with the surrounding surface.
Ensure each layer dries fully before applying the next to achieve the best and most durable results.

Step 7: Adding Texture

If your coffee table has grain patterns, designs, or textures, use the small brush to carefully replicate them for a realistic and natural finish.
Use darker shades like Walnut, Mahogany, or Black to recreate the original grain patterns, ensuring the repaired area blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

Gently sand the repaired area on your coffee table using fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth and even finish.
Use light, even pressure to blend the repaired spot seamlessly with the surrounding surface.
Avoid oversanding to prevent damage to the surrounding area or undoing the repair work.

Step 9: Maintenance

Regularly dust your coffee table using a soft cloth or brush to keep dirt, debris, and dust particles at bay.
Clean the surface gently with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could harm the finish or surface.
Apply a protective coat of wax or sealant to shield your coffee table from scratches, spills, and daily wear and tear.
Limit exposure to direct sunlight, as prolonged UV rays can fade colors and weaken the material over time.
