Furniture repairs with Varathane markers

What happens here

Begin by selecting a Varathane Wood Laminate Marker that closely matches the color of your wood or laminate surface. If unsure, start with a lighter shade and gradually build up or use a darker shade if the previous one is too light. Carefully apply the marker directly to the scratch, scuff, or light spot. The goal is to color the damaged area, filling it in with the marker's pigment to match the surrounding grain. The video shows the use of two different brown shades to achieve the desired effect.

Goal: Cover and color the damaged area on the wood/laminate surface
