Dents are depressions in the wood where the grain is not broken. Scratches and gouges are areas where the grain has been damaged. After the finish is removed, most dents can be steamed out. Fold a piece of paper towel, wet it with cold water, and hold it on the dent. Place a hot iron on the dent for a few seconds until steam is forced into the wood. The dent should rise after a few applications. Sometimes a small amount of sanding is required. Always experiment in an inconspicuous area first.

No, as a rule the electroplating process does not hide surface imperfections. In fact, due to the diffusive reflection of incidental light rays, pre-existing cosmetic imperfections are even more noticeable on a brightly plated surface! For best results the watch must be polished to the desired level of brightness prior to gold plating.

Most scratches and dents can easily be repaired by flame-treating the area. While this is an easy repair caution is necessary. 1. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol to remove grease and dirt. CAUTION: Do not hold the flame concentrated in one area too long. Too much heat can cause the plastic to get distorted or thin. CAUTION: Keep the flame or excess heat away from decals to avoid melting the ink or burning the decal.

Over time the cooking surface will become "worn" and get tiny scratches from regular use. Many people like that and refer to it as "patina". Should it get to much for your taste, just have the surface "buffed up" by a professional.

First, make sure you use a good stainless steel cleaner. Once you're done cleaning, follow up with good stainless steel polish. Cleaning will only blend in light scratches; deep scratches may require more work or sink replacement. Use Bar Keepers Friend cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite pad. Wet the sink and pad, and sprinkle a little cleanser in the sink. Gently move the pad front to back on the bottom to blend the scratches in. On the sides, scrub in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly.

The only way to get out dents and scratches is to refinish. So, try to prevent dents by removing high heels, trimming pet nails, and applying felt protectors to furniture legs. Also, consider a satin finish instead of a glossy finish, as it will make dents and scratches less noticeable.

Mike Jukes asks has anyone ever used a firm like DentMaster before? He has loads of dents on his bonnet and understands people like DentMaster can get them out without needing paint. Alex Wakefield says his doesn't know how bad the dents are, but you always used to be able to buy a suction dent puller from the Innovations catalogue that falls out of the Sunday papers every other week. They claimed it was quite good in the ad, but then that's what you'd expect, and I think it was only a tenner.

It is not advisable to attempt to remove scratch marks on windscreens, as this could result in distorted vision. The best thing to do is to avoid situations where windscreen wipers can scratch the windscreen. Scratching can occur when:

There are several program to do this. They actually work with WAV files, not MP3, so if you have problem MP3 files, you'll have to decode them to WAV files, fix the WAV files and then re-encode (unfortunate... but because of the way MP3 compression works, trying to do any editing directly on MP3 files is very tricky). The program names that I am aware of are: You can download all of them through the ZDNet software library at www.hotfiles.com - just search for the names.

Dented hardwood floors are repaired through a sand and refinish process. The floors must be sanded with a floor sanding machine to make the surface of the floor smooth again. Then a new wear layer must be applied to the floor to protect it from wear. Floor sanding machines can be rented at many building supply stores or equipment rentals. However, it is recommended to have the floor professionally refinished if you are unfamiliar with this repair process.

Maybe. Sandfree™ is focused at the existing finish. If the scratches are in the finish, they will be removed. If the scratches are in the wood, they will not be removed. Sandfree™ only works on the finish, not on the wood itself. We are beginning to develop a method to stain the scratches, but are still testing this and are offering this on a limited basis, although we feel this will be part of the service in the near future.
