How to repair scratches on laminated parquetry?

Hi @Dorin88,

Have you tried gently cleaning the area to see if any of the blue markings can be removed from the surface? 

To repair scratches on laminated parquetry, start by cleaning the scratched area thoroughly to remove any dust or debris. One effective solution for filling in minor scratches and scuffs is to use Waxstix or wood repair crayons. These can be found in a variety of colours, allowing you to blend shades together to replicate the natural timber grain of your parquetry.

To apply, choose Waxstix colours that closely match your floor and gently fill the scratch, using a cloth to smooth the surface and remove excess wax. For deeper scratches, you may need to apply a few layers to build up the repair. Mixing and layering colours helps create a more natural look that blends seamlessly with the surrounding wood grain. After filling, buff the area lightly with a soft cloth to restore shine and help the wax set. This technique is a simple yet effective way to make scratches on laminated parquetry far less noticeable.

I think the key to success here will be trying to remove the blue marks as they really highlight the area.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Dorin88 

That multi filler is  pretty much for deeper  cracks and  will set hard and will need sanding and sanding ontop of you floor might do wider further damage.

using  @MitchellMc  suggestion of the  colored  wax will very nearly hide the scratches  once the blue is  cleaned of too and  no sanding  just cloth rubbing.

See @MitchellMc  suggestion

Hi @Dorin88 

I agree with @Jewelleryrescue, the MulTfill is made for deep cracks and dries hard which means that it has no flexibility in it. The Waxstix on the other hand is more forgiving and is capable of spreading over shallow surface damage. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @Dorin88 

I'm sorry to hear that the store you went to did not have the colour you're after. I propose giving the next store a call to make sure that they have the colour you need before proceeding. I also recommend thinking about getting Waxstix that is close to the tone of your floor so that you can at least apply repairs.   

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
