www.woodshopproducts.com/Mohawk-Blendal ... tQEALw_wcB Blendall sticks are one of the easiest methods for applying color to scratches. After applying them the color needs to be made permanent by spraying with lacquer. |

Or drop filling with a clear finish after applying the color. |

If you are looking for cheap and fast, Old English comes in light and dark. People don't generally expect wood in a house to look like a new guitar. Wipe off all the old english that you can. Wipe the whole surface up to any edge where your eye expects to see a color/gloss change. After a day or two, wax the area if it has a gloss finish. The advice to spray lacquer only applies if the item has a visible smooth finish look. Lots of modern wood is finished with a thin open-grain look, and so doesn't need to be fixed as if it were a guitar. |
