Re: How can we fix this scratch damage on our wooden table?

Hi @ivanptr,

 

The most effective way to fix the scratch would be to lightly sand back the entire top and recoat. Alternatively, you could try touching up the area with a Timbermate Timber Touch Up Kit or even applying some Mr Sheen 400g Original Multi Surface Polish Spray. However, I'm not convinced either would leave you with an unnoticeable scratch. If the scratch is not so deep that it's damaged the timber, you could try lightly sanding the immediate area with 240-grit sandpaper and recoating the table with the same product you used initially. Once again, though, that wouldn't be as effective as sanding the whole top back uniformly.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Did you happen to coat the table yourself, or was it purchased with the current finish @ivanptr?

 

It's best to coat with a similar product, but you could use Cabot's Cabothane. My preferred application tool is a short nap roller, and I'd suggest applying the coating over the entire top of the table to get a consistent finish.
