Using the method that will be discussed, you can remove dents not only on ordinary untreated wood, but also on varnished furniture, parquet, etc. In general, the method is widely applicable to almost any wooden surface, which is good news.
The method is based on the fact that almost any material, under the influence of internal stresses, tends to restore its original shape. Wood is no exception in this regard. We'll just help him get back into shape a little.
Removing a dent on wood
So, there is a small dent on the surface.
You need to take a rag or towel. Moisten with plenty of water. Squeeze a little so that the water does not flow out in a stream. And place it on the surface with the dent.
Turn on the iron to maximum and iron the surface.
Under the influence of hot water steam, the dent is straightened.
The desired result is not always achieved the first time. A small notch remains.
We wet the rag again and repeat the procedure.
To achieve maximum results, you will have to repeat smoothing 3-4 times. Although it all depends on the condition and type of wooden surface.
As a result, a small risk will remain, which is practically unnoticeable compared to what was there at the very beginning.
I repeat that with this simple method you can remove dents even on lacquered furniture. Of course, the result may not be 100%, but a noticeable improvement will definitely be visible.
Advice: To enhance the smoothing effect, before ironing you can spray the dent with water from a spray bottle and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
I had to use this method many times and in most cases, after restoration, no traces were noticeable.
Take it into service and use it. Bye everyone!
