STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

Gently clear away any dirt, dust, or debris from the damaged area of your wooden chair to ensure a clean surface for repair.
Thoroughly clean the surrounding surface to remove any lingering particles or residue.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the area, ensuring it is free of dust or oils, and allow it to air dry completely before proceeding.

Step 2: Applying the Wood Putty

For worm holes larger than 1/4 of an inch or 0.6cm, use the wood filler epoxy putty to fill the worm holes.
Cut off a small amount of wood putty and knead it until it becomes a uniform color.
Apply the filler immediately after kneading. Remove any bulge. Press the filler firmly into the holes until curing is noticeable.

Step 3: Mixing and Matching the Color

Refer to the Color Mixing Guide included in your kit to create the perfect shade for your wooden chair.
Use the empty mixing jar provided in the kit to combine the colors. Thoroughly mix the colors to achieve a smooth, consistent tone before applying to your wooden chair.

Step 4: Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound evenly to the damaged area of your wooden chair, starting at the edges of the worm holes and gradually working towards the center to prevent air bubbles.
Use the spatula for repairing larger worm holes and the brush for detailed touch-ups or smaller surface applications.

Step 5: Smoothing the Surface

Carefully smooth out the surface of your wooden chair using gentle, even strokes to ensure a seamless and level finish that blends perfectly with the surrounding area.
Promptly remove any excess compound with a clean paper towel, ensuring no residue remains on the undamaged areas of your wooden chair.

Step 6: Drying and Additional Layers

Allow the repair compound on your wooden chair to dry thoroughly for several hours, ensuring it is no longer sticky to the touch.
If necessary, apply additional layers to build up the worm holes until it is even with the surrounding surface of your wooden chair.
Let each layer dry completely before adding the next for the best results.

Step 7: Adding Texture

If your wooden chair features grain patterns, designs, or textures, use the small brush to replicate them for a natural finish.
Apply dark colors such as Walnut, Mahogany, or Black to mimic the original grain and seamlessly blend the repaired area with the surrounding surface.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

Lightly sand the repaired area on your wooden chair 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 9: Maintenance

Regularly dust your wooden chair with a soft cloth or brush to remove dirt, debris, and dust particles.
Clean the surface of the wooden chair with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or surface.
Protect your wooden chair by applying a coat of furniture wax or sealant, which helps guard against scratches, spills, and general wear and tear.
For extra precaution, consider spraying a light layer of insect repellent on the wooden chair to deter pests.
