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

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 3

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 4

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 5

Adding Texture (optional)

  • 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 6

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.

Gets the job done!

This repair kit was a lifesaver! I had atablethat wasscratchedup pretty badly from a move, and needed something quick and cheap to restore it. This kit pleasantly surprised me! I got it originally because it came with the staining/paint materials and the wood putty filler (which I originally thought I needed). I read the instructions carefully and decided the putty wasn’t necessary for my type of damage. I also will say, it’s clear that some reviewers didn’t take the time to mix colors to match, so don’t be mislead by those! It did take me a while to get the mixture close though. It wasn’t perfect, but it got the job done!
