I wish I could help but I have not bought my engineered wood/laminate floor yet but I do know some brands and wood species seem to be more likely to stratch....See MoreWood Filler Issue with Newly Finished Hardwood Floors - HELP!
Comments (2)I'm going to answer my own question for anyone who is having a similar problem. We are going to use a Pre Finish Flooring Wood Filler. They are meant for touching up pre finished floors (both factory finished, and ones that were finished on site). A bunch of companies make them; we're going with Wood Wise. They come in a bunch of colors, and you can mix the colors to get a closer match. I learned about pre finished floor wood filler on the internet and our hardwood floor installer confirmed that it is the right product to use. :)...See Moreoak hardwood floor scratches - is there a fix?
Comments (3)How deep is the scratch? I had this problem and believe it or not "crayons" (a bunch of different colors) worked to fill in the scratch so that you couldn't find it even if you tried. Another approach is to restain the scratch with the color you stained orginally with. If the scratch is skinny enough you could do this with a small brush then lightly steel wool (0000) over the scratch then go over your newly stained scratch with your varnish, using a small brush. You may have to do a few coats just make sure that you lightly sand with the steel wool inbetween coats. Take care to feather out the newly applied varnish into the exsiting varnish. Try the crayons though they worked great for me. It all depends on how big and deep these scratches are. After you are done rubbing the crayons into the scratch take a soft cloth and buff the area well. Hope this helps....See Moreissues with newly finished hardwoods
