my daughter and I just did our first table redo. We sanded primed and stained a kitchen table top. During her move, the table was severely scratched. How do we repair?
Tibet Almond Stick Scratch Remover worked for me years ago. It fills in scratches and leaves a little "shine," that matches most finishes. Amazon sells it, so your local hardware store or box store may carry it as well. It's not expensive and worth a try.
If the scratches are not deep get some Minwax stain markers and blend the colors. I like to dab some of the stain in the scratch and use my finger to blend. If the scratches are deep you can get some Minwax Blend-Fil pencils to fill in the scratches. Rub the scratch with the pencil to fill the scratch, use a credit card to smooth it out. Polish/blend with a cloth,
I agree, these are amazing, and not expensive- https://www.amazon.com/Minwax-63487000-Finish-Marker-Walnut/dp/B0000DI7ZK
