Our home was built in the 70s and has very dark brown woodwork. Can't find the stain anymore. Will this stain the scratches?

It probably would.....would have to treat it as a wax and not a stain though.

Yes, it will to some extent. It is solvent based but remember it is a wax. If you have a scrap of wood; I think Sherwin Williams will match stain. Anyway, they used to.

Briwax is very soft. In fact, above 75 degrees F it starts to turn into a liquid. (Be careful not to spill it!) You can normally rub the wax into any scratches to fill them. The wax will accumulate in the scratches and be slightly darker than the normal wax color. If you are talking about scratches that are lighter than the normal stained wood color, that's a good thing. I have found that in most cases scratches are hidden after applying the wax.

Yes, buy the color closest to your woodwork, apply it with 0000 steel wool and wipe off with towel. Yor wood will look better than new!

Depends on the extent of the damage. This product wipes on, shines the wood with a dark wax, but fill in dings beautifully -- they actually look good, like old English furniture. Large areas can be treated, then wiped and lightly polished. The result of this stuff on furniture is nothing short of amazing. I build furniture and use it on everything I make regardless of the stain color. And dark brown is the only shade I use. I know that 70's woodwork and Briwax might make it look more classic and like antique furniture. But if there are only a few dings a filler stick in the right color might be enough but wont give you the incredible sheen of Briwax. Hope this helps. Depends on the extent of the damage.

You are correct. I have to be really careful not to scratch it. However, I ordered some furniture markers that come in different shades of brown and they look like magic markers but they fill in the scratches. Have to be careful to just fill in the scratch.

I took oak cabinets and stained them with this. Took 3 coats and have almost black cabinets. They're beautiful. Loved this stain.

This is a great product, but not a stain. It would produce a slight tint. I would recommend a stain marker to touchup gouges.

It's like a marker. You color in the spot with a marker, then blot it with paper towel. It's works, and makes it look less noticeable, but it's a miracle product that makes scratched wood look like new.

Tough to answer without seeing the damage. You should look for a tinted filler that matches the stained table. If unavailable, try stainable wood filler, and get the best stain that matches. Apply with a thin brush just where the damage is. Briwax will not work as a stain, but it will help the blend when the repair is dry. Good luck.

Pretreat with a scotch guard. I have not experienced any staining as of yet however, I monitor who and what are around this beautiful yet fragile upholstered chair - It's a great piece of furniture.

I put it on darker wood and have only the first coat on it so far. I dont think I will be able to tell over this dark wood if it has any discoloration.

It is stained the same color as the rest of the unit but is pressed material not wood. It doesn't look totally finished from the back but wouldn't look bad I would say. If you have someone handy, you could likely easily modify it to make it perfectly finished. We love love love our unit!

I don't think it leaves a stain. I really have not used it on many painted surfaces. I used it outside around my covered deck, so that's aluminum siding, and around some exterior doors. I guess the door moldings are painted though. I have not noticed any discoloration or staining on any surfaces.

I don't know if my window sill is covered with a stain or a varnish. But when the adhesive strip on the sill started to come off after 3 years it didn't hurt the finish. The window faces east. I bought Industrial Strength Velcro to replace the strip on the sill.

The wood grain is a vinyl coating to trying to apply a stain would be an exercise in futility, you'd be better off just painting it with a flat black satin paint. Maybe do a little sanding to it first

VERY similar. There are color variations in the stain as the picture indicates that vary enough the cabinet could blend with many finishes. Those areas that appear lighter think would be called a "golden oak" and the areas that appear darker have warm browns to almost a cherry or mahogany appearance especially in the detail work. My cabinet is beautiful and has already gotten many compliments. The way this has been stained gives it a very european olde world look. Hope that helps

What kind of finish? How old are the cabinets? This will REMOVE the finish down to the stain, is that what you want to do? If so, this is the right product. Afterwards you can put on a new finish, like polyurethane. Good luck, Nancy

Colleen, I've seen this on many of my projects too. The prior stain or paint was applied without sealing the wood, so the stain was absorbed unevenly. In some cases I've used alcohol (although this tends to raise the grain) or a dental pick to scrape out paint (but this can leave scratches). Since I usually use a walnut stain, it obscures most of the prior stain/paint. Unless the old covering is in a highly visible area, you are probably OK.

Yes. It will fill the scratches but it is a wax and will be slippery once it dries. You might want to consider using a dab of cherry colored stain instead. I would try keeping the stain cofined to the scratches only. Try using a small artist brush so as not to allow the stain to settle onto the other areas of your floor. Hope this helps!

I assume you are talking about scratches to a real hardwood floor. Well it also depends how deep the scratches are. If you have an old floor then you probably have a darkened floor due to wax buildup. If the scratches have just gone thru that then you can do either of two things 1) keep putting you floor cleaner on and more so over the scratches, over a period of time it too will buildup and darken and cover the scratches. 2) Use Simple Green and rub the wax around the scratches and blend it in to the rest of the floor. Simple Green works like a slow acting wax remover so you will have time to blend it. If the scratches have gone thru the finish and are down into the wood then you have to start matching up wood stain with the color of the rest of the floor. All of these are more art then anything else..it's trial and error. Usually dogs and hardwood don't match well. A dog is better suited to a tile floor. But if that is what you have and scratches are a concern, you will eventually become a pro at this.
