I found this video useful in that it encouraged me to repair a gouged vintage receiver end-cheek. I brushed on some 2 part epoxy adhesive, sanded it, then applied brown and black Humbrol/Testors paint (with a brush); the sort used to paint plastic scale models. I used a straight edge to help me keep the grain accurate. You need a bit of patience, leaving enough time between coats. Brown on first, then bIack (sparingly) for the grain, then a realy thin coat of brown again to blend the colours of the previous coats. I then finished it with clearcoat. The results were impressive, (if I say so myself).
Alright smarty pants . We aren't all top artists some of us struggle with drawing matchstick men. You've done a great job, I just want to patch veneer on a table top I have sanded down as it's dark oak but with minimal grain I am hoping I can find a filler like a 2 part epoxy then stain it quite dark as the legs are dark anyway hopefully it will hide any misdemeanors. I don't usually take on furniture projects for myself with damaged veneer but it's now time after a friend donated me some 1960s gplan coffee tables and I am a fan of this era (even though gplan is just cheapy particle board under the veneer) it still has lots of style and character and deserves my best efforts I can't paint it that is sacrilege. Thanks for the upload it's interesting but you are far far to good at matching colours.
my trial didn't work out at all. I did it just like the video. The Quickwood didn't come together easily and after 15 min of kneading it was still hard. I put it on just like the video, but repeated attempts to smooth it over & remove excess w/ a flat metal spreader, only pulled the stuff up from the space I was trying to cover. I pressed it down w/ my thumb as thin as I could get it. It ddin't have that flat, smooth look of the video at all. I tried filling another space w/ good ole' Plastic wood. IT worked like the video showed the Qw working. It dried up nicely, as did the Qw. I sanded both and the stain I used covered the Plastic wood filled space much better than it did the Qw space. That spot stayed the same color as the QW was coming out of the package. Maybe I messed up somewhere, but I won't prder any more Qucikwood.
@@jessicawendland9666 he never said, I couldn't find what I wanted here in canada, I thought maybe it was a boat paint... I ended up using stains but that sucked, maybe he used a type of hobby paint, but it's very hard to cover wood filler....
