STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

  • Start by brushing away any loose dirt or debris from the damaged area of your wood table. Clean the surrounding surface thoroughly to eliminate any dust or residue that could interfere with the repair.
  • Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe the area, ensuring it is free from grease or grime, and allow it to dry fully before moving forward.

Step 2: Mixing and Matching the Color

  • Consult the Color Mixing Guide included in your kit to match the ideal shade for your wood table. Utilize the empty mixing jar provided to blend the colors precisely.
  • Make sure to mix thoroughly to achieve a uniform, consistent tone before applying it to your wood table for a flawless finish.

Step 3: Applying the Repair Compound

  • Spread the repair compound evenly over the damaged area of your wood table, beginning at the edges of the water stains and working inward to avoid trapping air bubbles.
  • For larger water stains, use the spatula to ensure smooth coverage, and use the brush for precise touch-ups and smaller applications.

Step 4: Smoothing the Surface

  • Level the surface of your wood table by using smooth, even strokes to create a seamless finish that blends naturally with the surrounding area.
  • Quickly wipe away any excess compound with a clean paper towel to prevent residue from settling on the undamaged portions of your wood table.

Step 5: Drying and Additional Layers

  • Let the repair compound on your wood table dry fully for several hours, making sure it is completely dry and no longer tacky to the touch.
  • If needed, add more layers to gradually fill in the water stains, ensuring it becomes level with the surrounding surface. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next for a smooth and flawless finish.

Step 6: Adding Texture

  • For wood table with unique grain patterns, designs, or textures, use a fine brush to replicate these details and achieve a natural look.
  • Apply deep tones such as Walnut, Mahogany, or Black to mirror the original grain, ensuring the repaired section harmonizes seamlessly with the surrounding surface.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

  • Lightly sand the repaired area on your wood table using fine-grit sandpaper to achieve a smooth and even surface.
  • Blend the repaired spot seamlessly with the surrounding area by applying light, even pressure.
  • Take care not to oversand, as this may damage the surrounding surface or undo your repair work.

Step 8: Maintenance

  • To keep your wood table in top condition, dust regularly. Use a soft cloth or brush to gently remove dust, dirt, and debris, preventing buildup that can dull the surface.
  • Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution to maintain its finish. Steer clear of harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could cause damage.
  • Apply a layer of wax or sealant to shield your wood table from scratches, spills, and everyday wear and tear, ensuring it stays looking its best.
