19QOS19 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Do you know anyone who smokes a pipe? Once saw a guy repair a scratch on a table using the shite inside a pipe. Came up a treat. Might do the same for your table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Thanks mate, I dunno what the finish is exactly but I could find out off oak furniture land surely if I made an enquiry. I have no idea about wood finishing etc as you can probably tell so am at a loss as to what to do! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Aye easier to ask than guess. £10 it's polyurethane though. They might even offer a repairs service?https://www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk/furniture/dorset-natural-solid-oak-dining-set-3ft-extending-table-4-scroll-back-plain-beige-fabric-chairs/5426.html?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAjwwZrmBRA7EiwA4iMzBJ5QEmt97GmbG5Bu2kcm4BOHmixowaeWWpprp3ynuSJUiFf9_L3-_hoCHn0QAvD_BwE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Huh I owe you a tenner.Does it say what finish it is there ? I never looked at the link I just wanted to show you what it was like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better news for your elbow, generally speaking you can touch up waxed furniture for marks where you need to start from scratch with polyurethane. So you think I could just buy any furniture wax and it'll do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just now, MixuFixit said: I'd probably get in touch with them and see if they sell touch up kits or anything, then if not I'd have a look at what that other crowd I linked have that might do the job and try to get something that matches the colour (they're very helpful if you were to send them the photos they can probably advise you on what would be best). Danish oil is cheap enough you could get some and have a shot but like I say I'd test it on the underside first. You are a hero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
