Hi everyone,
I was wanting to know best method to fix burn marks on kitchen MDF tabletop next to the stove without replacing the whole sheet.
The burn marks are from cracked ceramic pot that caught fire on stove. I'm not sure how to fix it because the marks aren't just dark spots, they are raised and has cracks. If you could please give advice I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you
Hello @mia011
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your table.
I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - How to fix a burn mark on benchtop laminate? by @JamieK. In the discussion I suggested using a scourer pad, but because the damage is quite severe it might be necessary to use sandpaper to remove the deep burns.
If you are not prepared to replace the tabletop a temporary way to cover the damage is by using Parfix 500g Ready To Use Multipurpose Filler. Your goal is to fill only the deep cracks on the surface and the surrounding damage not the the entire spot.
Once the filler cures you can then lightly sand the surface to reduce the profile of the filler. I then suggest going to the store and looking for a paint colour that is similar to the tabletop and using a sponge to dab fill the damage.
Please note that this is a temporary repair, and it will be necessary to touch up the surface every now and then as the paint will fade due to wear and tear. When you have enough resources, I propose replacing the tabletop with a new set.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
