How to remove scratches in the wood

Today,


I want to tell you how you can remove scratches in the wood.

This assumes that the wood has been stripped & prepared first.

You will need an old flat file or a metal blade for this task, and some old rags.

1) Heat up your file over a flame until it begins to glow red.

2) Then wet your rag, so that it becomes very damp

3) Place the damp rag over the scratch in the wood.

4) Lay the hot file on the damp rag, which should be just over the scratch, and leave to steam for a short while, you should now start to see that the scratch will begin to raise to the surface, repeat the process if required.

5) You can sometimes, remove the scratch by just using the wet rag only.

The water will soon begin to raise the grain up for you.

This process; works very well on solid wood, but please take great care on veneered surfaces, otherwise, you will blister or lift off the veneer.

Please take great care not to burn yourself!
