I have some chairs and a table that the wife bought. She loves 'em but when
you slide the chairs up to the table, the bottom edge of the tabletop nicks
the chairs, and nocks the paint off. They're farmhouse-type furniture, w/
black painted (distressed) chairs and a black table w/ natural satin-poly'd
top - solid wood.
Short term solution:
Home Depot didn't have any solid color touchup pens, only stained ones
(semi-transparent). Anybody have any suggestions for a source of paint
and/or a touchup pen/marker? I need satin black.
Dealing w/ the company, they're local, and won't return our calls. They did
send a touchup marker, but it's graphite colored, not satin black. The
repairs w/ that pen look almost as bad as the bare-wood exposed marks...
:-)
Long term solution:
Take my sander and w/ a fine paper round the bottom edge, so it's not so
sharp. Then, use some satin-poly and w/ a sponge touch up the bottom edge a
bit, if any sanding is noticable from the top. I think it'd blend back in
to the rest of the finish (same technique I use when spot-fixing scratches
in our solid-hardwood floor).
Any ideas? Pros/cons? Do's or don'ts?
Thanks!
