This small side table was placed in front of a window for many years and over time it faded around the decor that was on the top, it has also had some or the wood veneer split open and start to lift.
To repair this I re-glued veneer, shading to bring color back, then top coated with poly.
In this "step by step" video I show and explain how to repair and touch-up damage to the top of a staircase after a puppy had chewed the edge and corner.
The customer was getting the home ready for sale and this was a big eye sore for them. We were happy to come to their home and do this on-site repair. Our owner, Dave Kyle (Kyle's Wood Touch Up And Repair & DJKonsulting Inc) decided to do this free step by step repair for everyone to enjoy.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to ask. We value your thoughts, opinions or questions. If you have a better way to do any step shown we look forward to how you do these sorts of repairs.
Forgive some of the background noises as our clients have a couple of "little ones" and as you know... life is life, and they do make noise.
Our wonderful client had impact damage and wanted it to look like new.
Here is a quick photo video of what I did. I used 2-conponant wood epoxy, so it has to be kneaded to activate the epoxy.
I had to drill a small hole to anchor the epoxy to, then trimmed it once it was partly dried so that I would not have to sand so much damaging the surrounding wood.
Added the base stain bringing the epoxy to the proper color then drew in the grain using a darker stain.
Once it looked right seal coated it in to protect all the work.
In this very short video, one of my staff members shows you a simple and easy way to remove the white marks you get on your table when something hot has been on your table top.
This happens when the moisture gets trapped between the layers of finish on your table. For example... when you put a pizza box on the table top. The heat from the box causes steam which in turn penetrates the surface of your finish and gets trapped there. When you lift the pizza box you will see a white smoky look.
Its actually a very simple fix. Believe it or not it takes dry heat to draw back out the moist heat under the surface level.
Take a clean rag or thin towel and heat your iron to high. Do not have any water in the iron. Then do as you see in the video, make small circles with the iron but only leaving it on for a few seconds at a time. Feel the spot to make sure your not overheating the area. If it feels too hot then move to another section or just wait a few moments to give it a chance to cool, then repeat and you will start to see it change color and fade away. Repeat the steps until you can no longer see the white ring any more.
Please do be careful not to melt the finish or burn yourself. Unplug the iron and let complete cool before you put it away or add put water inside again. It can be done on most any wood surface with a finish on it, in an upright or flat position.
I don't personally recommend you using mayonnaise as it has oils in it that can do damage to your finish or leave a film on your table.
I have used methyl hydrate but with using any chemical you take the chance with it melting the finish. I have not tried other techniques, the heat method with an iron works amazingly for my clients. But any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
in the following video, you will see some of the different jobs I have done and all the unique fixes I get to do.
Being a mobile and onsite finishing company I can do a lot of work that most shops cant do. As well, allows me to work in areas that are not usual for a finishing shop and does allow me to save a TON of cash for businesses and home owners.
I have had 30 plus years of hands on experience learning to do the most unusual repairs you could image with great success.
I pass on this knowledge with my sister company DJKonsulting Inc where I can coach everyone the techniques I have learned over the many years.

This is a historic building so they requested that the originality remain. But due the fact its a high traffic area and gets banged up frequently there's lot of damaged areas in need of our repairs.
This is my first time doing a hyper lapse video so forgive the more funny parts... after all I cant sand at the speed of a hummingbird...lol
The Calgary Petroleum Club ( C.P.C.) has been a loyal client of ours for many years. Its always a thrill to do touch ups for them. There will be many more years of repairs and touch ups to come.
