If there is any depth to the scratch, put a damp cloth over it and then add weight to the cloth. The wood will absorb the moisture and raise the dent/crack. Once done, try one of these "lighter" methods.
I really appreciate you making this video. I’ve used the walnut method times over the years with success. I think I’m going to do the vinegar and oil from now on because I always have these items on hand. Thank again! ❤
1. The walnut will work as long as the finish on the piece is an oil finish. That's because the oil from the nut seeps into the scratch of the oil finish on the furniture and it feels in that gap, making it less visible. 2. Coffee stains are to stain the scratched area to camouflage it but not correct it. 3. I'm assuming that the T is the same premise as the coffee but nevertheless it doesn't work. 4. Iodine is the same purpose as the coffee. Out of all of your options only one of them has the ability to correct the problem. And that's the walnut because you're placing the missing oil from the scratch in the finish with oil from the walnut so it's literally filling in that space and correcting the problem. The other three are merely coloring agents to help disguise it. Tip: If you have a dent in the furniture instead of or along with a scratch and there's an oil finish on the furniture, put a paper towel down over the dented area and use a steam iron for 1 to 2 minutes. The steam will infuse the wood fibers which will make them expand back to it's previous state. Then you can use the walnut to replenish the oil finish that was scratched. But those only work with an oil finish. If it's any other finish besides oil it will melt it and then you have to do a refinishing of the entire piece.
Thank you for this! This was incredibly helpful. I foolishly put a heavy object on our table without realizing it had spiked feet, with predictable results. I was mentally crafting my apology to my wife and making a budget to have the table resurfaced when I thought "I wonder if there's a way to fix this so that I don't have to spend several hundred dollars?" Your demonstration of the walnut was encouraging so I gave it a try. Spectacular! The scratch is still visible if you are looking for it but is much much less noticeable than before, and it sort of blends into the other scuffs and dings the table has. She'll never notice it. A home hack that really works, and is ludicrously easy.
I had an appointment Wednesday, and they pulled all scabs and dried skin off (sorry, this is kind of gross!) and now my thumb looks basically like a thumb again. I think I'm in a splint until I have surgery, which is still months away, but I don't have to do all the special washing and wound dressing I was doing before, so I consider it a win!
fun fact: When I got a sore throat when I was little, my grandmother would swab my throat with iodine. Within 24 hours, my sore throat was always gone. Today, if someone did that to a child, someone would call CPS on them LoL

Can you us more about the "lighter" method?
@@qwertyzxcv123 The ones presented in the video.
Just tried the walnut on our dining table and it’s worked! Thank you so very much. Greetings from England x

How can you determine if it is oil based, as I'm not sure with the furniture piece that I want to work on.
@@georgeandy6923exactly....I'm also unsure whether my dining table is oil-based or not
Good information, thanks for sharing! I’ve also heard that Olive Oil and baking soda together helps!

thank you very much!!! so helpful
Cherry juice? Black walnut hull makes a dye/stain. Red wine? Fun video.
Cute! Thanks!!
I learned from my elder aunt to clean wooden furniture with oil and vinegar. Results were always wonderful.
Now I’ve only heart about this recently and was AMAZEDDD at how well it worked!! I couldn’t believe I didn’t know about that truck sooner!
What combination of oil to vinegar?
I heard it's 3/4 cup oil and 1/2 cup white vinegar curious
Wow! That's crazy a walnut!. Good to know thank you and i hope you and your thumb are doing well. How much longer until you get the cast off?.

@@AButterflyHouse alright! Are you able to move it yet?

Mayonnaise works too. If the scratch is deep you can try a damp rag and an iron to try to swell the wood fibers before buffing with mayonnaise.
Isn't oil and vinegar just salad dressing? So, we could use salad dressing, in a pinch?
What’s the ratio of white vinegar and olive oil ?
1:1
🤣you moved you tea mug as I was lighting a butane lighter and it made it sound like I turned on a blow torch. That was so weird! Cool video!
Mineral oil would be better to use than canola oil.
Oil and vinegar, seems that because it is wet, right now it doesn't show. I still like the was and markers.
I’ve done it and it works SOOO good!
Ok, im buying walnuts tomorrow
👍
I used the coffee grounds after watching your video on a lighter scratch, and it vanished. It may depend on the depth of the scratch.
Science!
All of these methods except maybe iodine will make my dogs lick the floor 😢
I THINK YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO USE THE TEA BAG
Are you familiar with “vocal fry”?
Girl, you got it going on, big time.
Yeah, what I was thinking through the whole video!
try some mineral oil.
You did not work in the walnut property and long enough time...
Do not scratch too hard you could brake not one but all your fingers
Why do people make their voices croaky like that? Just talk using the vocal chords given to you to use 😂🤦🏽♀️
What croaky????
Your "voice fry" made me shut you off. Fix that first!
Lol
Then just don't watch the video lol, she doesn't need to fix diddly squat

Omg her vocal fry does not lets me finish the video.
Then the problem is yours, isn't it?
