Thank you! I've moved a few times with few problems, but .. the last was the worst. Many nicks, scratches and dings to some good pieces, ill be trying your tips next week.
Great video. The lacquer your using will that work for engineered hardwood floors. I have dog scratches on hardwood but I don't see woodboard like the second image u fixed. Just looks like an indent in the engineered hardwood. Your help would be appreciated.
Deft Clear Wood Finish is a nitrocellulose lacquer and is not compatible with most modern finishes and may cause blistering or dissolving of the original finish. You need to know what you are working with before applying any topical surface finishes. Usually some shellac or some water based polyurethane will do the job without causing any problems.
I have a strip mahogany veneer table over mahogany with light but annoying scratches. I am terrified of doing anything to it. Will this clear wood finish deal with those light scratches without changing color? It looks like you're is unnoticeable - can one spray and then go over it to make sure there are no drips etc? What a fabulous video - thank you so much!
Good effort but there is a way to get the scratch or chip completely invisible, use wood filler, sand it level, lacquer the colour back from where you sanded it, draw the grain back in with graining sticks/ pens or even paint them lacquer it again for a protective sealant 👌
Are the fill sticks permanent ? Can I fill in a tiny chip with fill stick on corner of table edge ? Or do I need wood putty for that ? Love your video. 👍
Marilyn thank you for watching the video. It doesn’t harden like hard wax does. But it will keep the edge form if you use it on edge as long as no one messes with it.
If its urine from child then Vinegar and baking soda. Saturate vinegar on stain then heavy amount of bakig soda covering entire areas. Let sit for 2 days. It wil dry hard. Vacuum off and stain is gone
I really want to thank you for this video. I have this table that I love. But it has some rather large marks in it from moving over the many years and I didn't want to replace it because it's the perfect size for my family. I am going to Home Depot to get stuff soon and will try what you did!
I can see the repair after you put on the spray, you can take a fine line of black or darker color to keep the wood grain where its only red and this would hide it even better. Almost invisible you would really have to look to find the repair. I take it the fill pens are made of a wax? hows this work with Poly? Poly's used on floors, but I've been using it on kitchen cabinets it holds up a lot better the lacquer finish also the more gloss the harder the surface this is also true with paint's from what I've read and seen.
I have a question, i got a desk and the top of the table wasn't real wood and my dad tried sanding it down, I'm pretty sure its a type of plastic with a laminate on top, is there a way yo fix the dark patch that was created from the sanding.
Miss Finsta there really isn’t. It’s kinda like sanding a sticker... you can kinda go back in and match grain and color but it’s going to be a pain and uneven.
Would this work for a wood looking covering on a TV stand? What I mean is it not a veneer type cover but more of a thin wrap over MDF board to make it look like a wood finish.
Wonderful! Will the fill stick + lacquer trick work on a dining room table top that gets washed down daily, or will I need something more heavy duty to seal it? It’s a pedestal table with small chips in the veneer right along the center edge where you would drop in or lift out the center leaf of the table…
Have you ever repaired a front door not painted? My dog thought he was scratching his autograph all over.. 😭😭😭 do you have an idea how to repair it? thank you!!
I have heard that Def is not durable, easily scratches, and blushes so may need to use blush eraser Better to use Mohawk precatalyzed lacquer? Idk to each their own. I may be wrong, that's just what I heard.
+Tom Mont Good evening Tom. Hmmm what happened to the veneer on the table is that moister got in between the veneer and the particle board and now it's either an air bubble or the particle board as swollen up from the moister. Please feel free to e-mail me a couple of pictures and we can go from there. Movingtips4you@gmail.com
I tried sending a pic, it came back.do you have an email that I can send it to.the bubbles are hard so I'm assuming the particle board is swollen.what should I do in that case?
Hi, not sure if you could help. I have a wood veneer dresser that got wet over the years and now has a pretty big spot that puffed up. It’s right on the little trimming design. Is there anyway I can fix that? Thank you.
Hi Vaal Gee, sense it’s the compressed wood on the bottom of the veneer that has absorbed the water and it’s impossible to fix it and make it look normal. Some would say to cut a square size of veneer , remove the swollen particle board then even it back with the veneer by gluing it back and then touch it up (like I do in the video) but that’s a huge head ache. Sorry I couldn’t help much, thank you for seeing my video. Please feel free to ask any more questions.
+Settles Sweeties hmmm, try this trick, wet a small piece of cloth and rub over it. If it makes a big change over the scratch then all you need is a lacquer finish or the original type of finish.
Cool! The title mentions laminate furniture. Would it work for laminate flooring too? We have a coffee table with eight feet and I frequently like to move it to do workouts but it’s so awful when it makes a big scratch! I cringe whenever I get ready to move the table, and cross my fingers. Sometimes it’s okay. I know I need to get felt or something for the feet, but I would love to make the scratches disappear.
Sarah Marson Apparently you didn’t read where I said, “I know I need to get felt or something for the feet” 😉 Anyway, it was quite some time ago when I wrote that, and I have since gotten felt pads for the feet, so yes, that’s done. I live in a small town and had already gone to different places including the furniture store to try to get pads for the feet, and they didn’t have any. So I had to wait until I could get the feet pads elsewhere.
THANK YOU Sir! Finally I found what I need to fix my handrail!!! Just Cannot say enough about how much I appreciate your video!
Leigh G. Thank you for watching. Glad it can help.
"You can keep your kids" lol. Thank you so much for this video. I can't wait to try this on my childs nightstand.

Hi Adolfo, good job! I can barely see the scratches. Thank you for sharing... I like the way you said don't have kids over as much! LOL
Thank you for watching.
I need to repair the top of a white laminate table with deep gouges. Fingers crossed your technique works. Thanks.

i hope it helps
Thank you very much! We are moving soon from a very old apt that has a lot of woodwork and these tips will help a lot!
You're welcome and remember lift with your legs.
:)
Thanks.
Was looking for quick-and-easy to repair scratches on kitchen cabinet doors.
I guess you could even use two colors to fill it, so it keeps the contrast like before. Thank you so much for the video.
Very true. Thank you for your feed back.
Thank you for posting this. I just scratched my laminate stairs and was freaking out.
"Maybe not have them over as much" 😂😂
+Dr. Biman And then close out like you're leaving a voicemail. I love this video.
Omg thanks so much for sharing this video and teaching how to do something simple.. you inspired me to fix on my own... god bless
Great video. The lacquer your using will that work for engineered hardwood floors. I have dog scratches on hardwood but I don't see woodboard like the second image u fixed. Just looks like an indent in the engineered hardwood. Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you! I just had my household goods delivered and had quite a bit of damage to my veneer furniture. This will help while I file out claims.
+nukya ouch!!! Sorry to hear that. Well feel free to e-mail me pictures of your progress

Thanks for the video! I plan to try this on an antique dining set I've just purchased so this was helpful.
+Ashley Snell I'm glad it helped. I'm working on the website so the fill sticks are more accessible to everyone in different colors.
+Ashley Snell hope it works out.
+adolfo (movingtips4you.com) It looks great. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing , I panic when I see a scratch on a piece of nearly new furniture. Grateful ! 😊
+Beverly Wilson im happy it could be of help
Thanks for this video! Any recommendation for a very high gloss surface?
Thank you. The best and very useful video on this topic.
Wow, very useful video!! Thanks!
Does the lacquer need to be rubbed in at all? Does it leave a residue on the table or make it less smooth where it was sprayed?
Excited to try this! Thanks for the tips!
Please tell me how it turned out.
+Ken Bernardo Thank you for the positive comment
I don't have that filling stick but I used a brown crayon instead and it worked pretty neatly, so thanks for the idea 😂😂
Great video. Love the instructions.
rene hinojosa thank you for watching
My table is very shiny. What spray should I buy? Glossy? Thank you for the helpful video
Good quick tips, would have liked to have seen the dried results at the end though.
Thank you. Yeah I was in a bit of a hurry. Next time I will.
Yay! I get to keep my kids. lol
Good effort but there is a way to get the scratch or chip completely invisible, use wood filler, sand it level, lacquer the colour back from where you sanded it, draw the grain back in with graining sticks/ pens or even paint them lacquer it again for a protective sealant 👌
Never underestimate the power of a black wax marker for drawing grain
That's great and all but this technique is one anyone can do. Not everyone could do a good job painting or drawing grain back on
Yup that takes a good eye …. Layering color between laquer
Yeah, this was the lazy way.
If everyone else is an expert, where are your videos? 😅
Thank you for this video, quick and easy 🙏🏻
finally. i found the brilliant solution.any idea if i can order your instrumenrs online??
+yes, please go to movingtips4you.com and choose the color to repair. It will take you to amazon. خالد الشلال

Marilyn thank you for watching the video. It doesn’t harden like hard wax does. But it will keep the edge form if you use it on edge as long as no one messes with it.
You can use Howard's orange oil to clean up the wax.
Hahaa! Keep your friends, keep your kids. Great video, thanks!!
+PJ Garcia thank you pj
i love how he did that all on his matress
+maxl halt lol, it's actually a work bench at work. But yeah... that lacquer would help sleeping if it would of been my bed.
Haha I thought it was a mattress, too!
😂😂😂
maxl halt its a moving blanket
It was probably a customers bed LOL
I have noticed that by heating/melting it after you rubbed it in, it will fill the space even better.
Can you please do next video - " How to repair a damaged mattress in two minutes"?
Gary Y it was a work bench 😆
If its urine from child then Vinegar and baking soda. Saturate vinegar on stain then heavy amount of bakig soda covering entire areas. Let sit for 2 days. It wil dry hard. Vacuum off and stain is gone
😂😂😂
Good Video. Going to try on one of my scratches..Thanks
+Terry Black your welcom
you can always use a stain stick (wood stain) to create more lines
I agree, but with a very sharp point and a very light hand.
yes
Nice and easy. I little graining with a china marker would have completed the job.
phew i dont have to get rid of the kids
ONLIESVAN hahahahaha
Thanks a lot, I am a painter and I was looking for something like that to do fast job.
I really want to thank you for this video. I have this table that I love. But it has some rather large marks in it from moving over the many years and I didn't want to replace it because it's the perfect size for my family. I am going to Home Depot to get stuff soon and will try what you did!

+bobbg thank our for your input.
Can you do this after you put finish on?
Hi…I have a veneer wood table that my dog scratched….looks matte but don’t see that spray for matte….which is the least shiny
From where we can purchase this product and pls mention name of the product
“Now you get to keep your kids” 😂😂😂

@@Movingtips4you thank you for the insight! I might have to do that it's a decent desk.
Loved this video, thanks 😊

Maybe just a brown sharpie market for that. It’s too thin.
I didn't find the same color of pencil? What I'm gone do?Thank you
THANK YOU! Great tips, great video.
Do they have light wood
Thanks for sharing, this was so helpful!

We will try this tip. Thank you.
OMG 😲 awesome 👏🏽. You are the best
+awww thank you ....☺️☺️☺️The Nerds By Fatimah Aljawi
That’s is Awesome..thank you!!!
Hi....does this work for bamboo floors with light scratches and scuffs?
Light scratches ... Try just lacquer and go from there...
Wood this work for car interior wood panels?
Optionally you could have drawn some streaks with a sharpie before spraying the laquer.
Excellent work
Thanks for share it, really will be for me a very helpful.
Hi I have a linnmon IKEA desk made of fibreboard and particleboard. I have a scratch,
How can I repair?
E-mail me a picture of it so I can get an idea. Movingtips4you@gmail.com
You throw ikea away and buy you something real.
does that work on a scatched hardwood floor as well?
I doubt it just because of the fact that the fill stick doesn't harden to the point that it can take a woman's high heels digging into it.
I doubt it because it's not a hard filling
Thanks for the tips!
if I have laminated color like blue red or tiger color then how can I remove scratch
Excellent! Many thanks!
Wonderful! Will the fill stick + lacquer trick work on a dining room table top that gets washed down daily, or will I need something more heavy duty to seal it?
It’s a pedestal table with small chips in the veneer right along the center edge where you would drop in or lift out the center leaf of the table…
Lol don’t have them over at all if they scratching my expensive furniture..
Thank you very much
Have you ever repaired a front door not painted? My dog thought he was scratching his autograph all over.. 😭😭😭 do you have an idea how to repair it? thank you!!
wow looks super easy super cheap
Will this works for laminated wood floor scratches?
Although it would fix it, I wouldn't do it because it's not a hard finished to it. A high heels can definitely dig into it.
As long as it's veneer and not plastic sure
Not really because it's a soft wax fill stick. You will need a burn in hard stick for that.
I have heard that Def is not durable, easily scratches, and blushes so may need to use blush eraser
Better to use Mohawk precatalyzed lacquer? Idk to each their own. I may be wrong, that's just what I heard.

How do I repair bubbles in a veneer table top.someone set a pumpkin on it and now it's bubbled up.

+Tom Mont there really isn't anything you can do for that.... Sorry
Super helpful
Amazing...like new.👍🏽
Hi, not sure if you could help. I have a wood veneer dresser that got wet over the years and now has a pretty big spot that puffed up. It’s right on the little trimming design. Is there anyway I can fix that? Thank you.
I want to just pull it off every time I see it. But I know then all the pressed wood would be damaged. It’s “painted” with this black laminate.
Hi Vaal Gee, sense it’s the compressed wood on the bottom of the veneer that has absorbed the water and it’s impossible to fix it and make it look normal. Some would say to cut a square size of veneer , remove the swollen particle board then even it back with the veneer by gluing it back and then touch it up (like I do in the video) but that’s a huge head ache.

adolfo Hi, I figured it would probably be impossible. Thank you though! Your video was very helpful. I’ll just continue covering it with decor lol
thank you
Awesome, thank you
Thank you so much!
💖💛💖💖
are you really spraying laqour and working on your bed?
No it's a work bench but don't give me any ideas now, lol
Now i get to keep my kids and friends lol
Thank YOU!
+thefrannypanny you're welcome
you're welcome
what about a scratch going against grain...its only the poly layer. Do I have to send it out?
+Settles Sweeties hmmm, try this trick, wet a small piece of cloth and rub over it. If it makes a big change over the scratch then all you need is a lacquer finish or the original type of finish.

+Melanie Hevel-Olson hmmmm, I would say that if there isn’t a lot of foot traffic I don’t see why not. Especially if you keep high heels off of it.
adolfo Thank you! Yeah not much foot traffic and definitely no high heels around here, LOL 😊
+Melanie Hevel-Olson ok lol 😊
Also, add those soft pads to the bottom of the feet. For $5 they'll never scratch the wood again when you move it. 👍
