How Do You Fix Chew Marks On Wooden Chairs?
Ouch, that hurts when your pet decides to chew on the wooden chair that you so fondly polished and shined. Amazing stories have been told of how damage was done to a wooden heirloom or prize purchase. Most often, puppies are the culprit but an escaped macaw can do a lot of damage, too. Oh well, not to worry as there are ways to cope and restore your chair to its previous glory. Step 1 Clean the chair with an oil-based furniture polish to remove dirt and dust particles. If needed, sand slightly to smooth the surface using steel wool then clean the surface again. Step 2 Determine the extent of the damage from chewing. Damage ranges include: marking, indents and splintering, and altered surface structure. Step 3 Cover the marks made by chewing with crayons or scratch products. In the case of least damage from chewing, cover the marks by mixing crayons to match the color of the furniture and fill the marks. Or if desired, purchase a scratch remover product such as Old English Scratch Remov
