Furniture repairs with Varathane markers

What happens here

Immediately after applying the repair marker, take a clean, soft cloth or rag and gently wipe over the marked area. This action serves to remove any excess ink from the undamaged surrounding surface and to help blend the applied color seamlessly into the wood grain. Wipe in the direction of the wood grain for the most natural and inconspicuous finish. Continue to buff gently until the repair is blended and the excess ink is removed.

Goal: Blend the applied color and remove any excess marker ink from the surface
