What is the mark from, a scratch, burn, wet glass, etc ?
Tick
It's a scratch about the size of a 5p thanks
Find a crayon that matches the colour of the oak and just very lightly fill in the scratch with the wax crayon tip. Remove excess very gently with a razor or exacto knife and polish as usual. The scratch will be hardly noticeable.
ms. tick
Thanks very much I will give that a go
Hi, suzie63!
tickle has given you some very good advice for scratches that are very superficial and not really going into the surface of a finish very much. Her idea may be just what's needed.
However, I do have a question though, and that would be, how deep is the scratch, please?
If the scratch is superficial, then just the touch-up waxes will work. However, if it's of any significant depth to where you might want to apply a finish afterwards, then more in-depth treatment is needed so that an actual finish can be applied, if that's what you would desire.
Thanks!
Hi there I will try the wax crayon first but if this does not work, what do you suggest thanks
Hi again, suzie63!
The wax crayon most likely will work, if the scratch is very small and superficial and you don't wan't to put some kind of finish on it.
How deep is the scratch, please?
Thanks!
