Treat
Scratches,
Nicks, and
Abrasions -
Restor-A-Finish works best
when applied with a small
pad of toweling,
or for severe white
rings and crazing,
with Super Fine(0000)
steel wool. DO NOT
pour directly on
the finish. When
using steel wool,
always rub with
the grain of the
wood. First, determine
the pressure you
should use on an
inconspicuous spot,
as the hardness
of finishes vary.
Revive
Wood Finishes - Wipe
on the appropriate color
of Restor-A-Finish with
a clean cloth. Let it
stand for a few minutes
then wipe dry. If you desire
a slightly darker shade,
simply apply a darker color
of Restor-A-Finish.
White Heat Rings and Water Marks-
Apply Restor-A-Finish (see above) with steel wool and rub hard enough
with the grain of the wood to blend out the white effect. If high gloss
finish should appear dull due to the use of steel wool, polish it out
with a Howard Polishing Compound or Burnishing Cream.
Raised and Blistered Finishes
- Apply Neutral Restor-A-Finish (to prevent darkening of wood beyond
temporary "wet effect") with steel wool. As blisters soften press down
while the Restor-A-Finish is applied. Wipe dry, and again later if the
surface "blooms" with excess Restor-A-Finish.
Restore Minor Crazed or Checked Finishes
- Apply Restor-A-Finish with Medium Grade(00) steel wool. Rub hard
enough to smooth out the finish, periodically checking your progress.
Checked or crazed surfaces may absorb an excess of Restor-A-Finish and
"bloom out" requiring another wiping later.
Treat Carved Wood
- Restor-A-Finish has saved many hours of labor by restoring the finish
on carved portions of furniture and clocks. Simply apply
Restor-A-Finish with a small paint brush or soft tooth brush and wipe
off.
Tips
- Be careful to protect fabric, carpets, and linoleum when applying
Restor-A-Finish. It may leave a permanent stain. If spilling occurs,
immediately scrub areas with straight liquid detergent or stain remover
and wipe dry. Be sure to cover a small area at a time when applying
Restor-A-Finish. Always wipe dry. DO NOT apply Restor-A-Finish to the
new imitation wood finishes or use it under polyurethane finishes.
