STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

  • Gently remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the damaged area of your wood armchair 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 dents 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 dents 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 wood armchair.
  • 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 wood armchair for a seamless repair.

Step 4: Applying the Repair Compound

  • Evenly apply the repair compound to the damaged area of your wood armchair, starting from the edges of the dents and working inward to avoid air bubbles.
  • Use the spatula for larger dents 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 wood armchair 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 wood armchair using a clean paper towel, ensuring no residue is left behind.

Step 6: Drying and Additional Layers

  • Allow the repair compound on your wood armchair to dry completely for several hours, ensuring it is no longer sticky to the touch.
  • If needed, apply additional layers to build up the dents 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 wood armchair 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 wood armchair 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 wood armchair 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 wood armchair 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.

Dents No More!
