Don’t waste your time searching. This is the one and only correct video for this type of repair. Well done it’s nice to see an actual craftsman make content.
I love your videos! Very educational, easy going, well communicated. Hundreds online and yours plus one other channel are for me the best in restoration channels. Thanks, Ross!
Looking at the depth of those scratches I couldn't see how you were going to repair it. Silly me! I'm watching Ross Taylor. How dare I doubt his ability!!!
That was incredible..! Thanks, I really needed that info, it’s so helpful. I have a similar situation with a surface that has some scratches, and even some cigarette burns. I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to get it close to looking new again now. I hope your business is going great.
Thanks for Sharing the Video - great information...What would you recommend for a 1960's Teak Office desk to keep the Wood desktop maintained ie the ones with a Leather green inlay ... where my hands are constantly touching ect..Oil or Finish ? seems like a semi- Satin finish on the desk at the moment
I want to be just like you when I grow up to.... 'sept I'm already 75 LOL!! I've been weathering through the Kung Flu by salvaging pieces of furniture tossed out on garbage day and your videos have been not only an inspiration but also profoundly educational... Keep up the great work and I sincerely hope you survive this disaster!!!
Good job! I have a question, may I show you my table and can you please give me some advice, could I repair it or not? There's really big scratches, so I need your advice
I have the same situation in a beautiful mid century modern desk, the scratches are not only deep, but wide, as if someone had made them with a key. Do you think the same technique you used here will work? Thanks
I thought you couldn’t/shouldn’t use wax on lacquer. Please explain…I need to fix several pieces and they all have a lacquer finish. Thank you in advance.
He did exactly as I thought: scraping the old varnish, removing the marks from the scratches of the wood (use of paint), a first layer of transparent varnish to disguise the scratches (he used spray varnish, I would use a viscous clear varnish and do a flattening of the varnish with the scratches grooves), to immediately afterwards do the complete varnishing of the wood.
I have a bunch of cat scratches on a table I am trying to get out. I will try that. I saw online people were using hard wax to fill in the cracks. I was going to try both methods and see what blends better.
Where do you buy Naptha? What is it's qualities. Here in Australia we can buy "Shellite "". a hydrocarbon liquid probably about c8 or c10 . It's sold to use in outdoor stoves for campers. Costs about $3 per litre which is twice the cost of Petrol/gasoline. It is volatile and lèaves no oily residue. Stavros
As a female I learn so much from watching your RU-vid videos. the only thing I have a question on what is the term orange peeling if you can describe what that is. Thanks again
