Old English Scratch Cover for Light Wood, 8 Ounce (Pack of 2)

My wife and I got an itch in the “household project” part of our brains…what does this mean? A trip to the home improvement center for supplies and me and my son doing all the dirty work. The “home improvement project” was originally going to be tackled and knocked out over the weekend. But the local big box store did not have but one bottle of this and I needed 2, So back home and onto Amazon I went. A few days later I had it in my hands and we were ready to start the next morning. Coffee is always a sustaining part of our morning…who am I kidding?…daily routine! Without it “It is likely to be closer to a “Zombie Apocalypse” as the groans and complaints pour from our dragging bodies. I sure do hope that this stuff looks like I have seen in the pictures online. Now we are done with our coffee and ready to tackle our project, because we had to wait for the shipment my son cannot help so it’s now up to me and the homeowner ( My Wife ) to do the whole renovation. We tore down the closet and rebuilt it, we added the beams to the ceiling and finished all of the trim work, As I was cleaning up the scraps of wood my wife started to stain the walls with the Old English, I am guessing she was sneaking into the kitchen to get more coffee while I was sending her out to get tools and to cut wood because she had all 4 walls and the newly added closet done in 45 min flat. Who'd of thought you could use scratch cover as beautiful and easy to apply stain without the nasty smell of normal stain, and you get a bit of a shine out of it too. This stuff looks amazing on Southern Yellow Pine and I would suggest to anyone that you use it because it turns out gorgeous. So all in all I have to say GREAT JOB SWEETIE.

This is an excellent product well worth the price. I have a mid 60's vintage dresser and matching nightstand made of a sturdy honey oak. The dresser is long and low with six drawers and also has a bookcase hutch that sits on top of it. I used this set as teenager in my bedroom and inherited it in my early 20's when my parents moved to a new home. It's been with me ever since-- in the service, in apartments, houses, and in basement storage for years on end. It's followed me from one end of the country to the other for almost 30 years. Needless to say, the set is a little beat up. It has nicks and scratches, the wood on the top of each piece had turned somewhat gray and the dresser top also had scratches from the bookcase hutch (which was also in rough shape). After moving in to a new house, the set was rescued from basement storage oblivion to serve as the set in a small guest room. My first thought was that I would have to have the set refinished. But I decided to give the Old English product a chance. I'm glad I did! The set shined up like a newborn's bottom. The product covered the scratches and brought back the luster and shine to the wood. The gray spots on the top of each piece went back to honey oak. The dry wood just drank the product in. How I used it: I first dusted the pieces and got in to all the nooks and crannies. I then took a clean cloth and applied the product to both the cloth and the top of the pieces. The directions say to just apply to the cloth and wipe it on from there but this furniture was in dire need of some direct application. After going over the furniture thoroughly, I wiped it down with another clean cloth. The product does not smell, and also does not leave the furniture feeling greasy or wet. It will cover little nicks and surface scratches well, and bring back the luster and tone of the furniture. It will help with deep scratches and gouges, but will not cover them. For that, you will have to use a furniture pen or some other type of filler. But this product used in conjunction with those items can save the cost of a total refinish. I used a furniture pen with some of the deeper nicks at the base of each piece. The end result is that the set looks a hundred times better. Not refinished-- no wipe on product can do that-- but it restored the set to a more than serviceable state. My S/O couldn't believe the transformation. She felt that we would have to either have the set refinished or buy something new. She was floored when she saw the results. I would also add that unless you have a dark walnut or cherry piece, that the "light"color will work for you just fine. Anything from a mid range wood color to lighter.

I feel like the name's a bit of a misnomer because this stuff is a do-all. I sprinkle it on my hardwood floors, spread it around lightly with a paper towel, and...that's it. I feel like it's a new floor in a bottle. It fills-in scratches, evens out discolorations, polishes, and even protects. I use it to cover scratches on furniture, too. This little bottle goes a long way. I just did my first floor, my dining room furniture, and our bay window seat with just this small container. In an hour. I typically apply another coat, but these Before and Afters show just one. TIPS: - Vacuum your floor and dust your furniture before using. It's an oil-based stain (I guess) and it will trap dust and hair as it dries. - I wouldn't necessarily use this to spot-treat a floor. You'll notice that "spot" because it will be shinier than the surrounding area. - There's a dark woods version, too. My floors are medium/reddish and I've successfully used both. The dark woods version made my floors look better, but if I missed a spot, it was more noticeable.

Edit: After a couple of weeks, the stain evaporated and the scratches came back. So I bought some polyurethane spray at a home store, used the stain again, and lightly sprayed on the polyurethane. I took one star away because it wasn't as perfect as I thought. But the polyurethane worked wonders. When I bought my home, built in 1987, I had the genius idea to put my trash can under the sink, for kitchen waste. My Great Danes thought that smelled pretty cool, so they spent that first day I went to work scratching at the cabinets trying to get to the trash. Ten years went by with me embarrassed over the sad state of my cabinets. Now it is time to sell my home, and the painter recommended Old English scratch cover. It is absolutely incredible! Put on a rag and wipe, no more scratches! Yes, the wood is a little sunken where the toenails were, but you'd have to really look for that in strong light to see it. I'm absolutely amazed.

Old English is a great fix for small scratches. Just wipe it on polish it in, no more scratches. I even use it on our hardwood floor if I fine a scratch. It don't last forever and you have to use it again but it is better than having to replace the whole anything. I love it. I even used it on a walnut nightstand that had water spilled on it and left a large water mark and it greatly improved it's appearance.

I think the photos speak for themselves! This stuff is amazing for shallow scratches. Makes them *nearly* invisible. It doesn’t work very well for deeper gouges (or as you can see, the corner of the dresser didn’t turn out as well as I hoped). But furniture markers will fix that. I’m very pleased with how easy this is to use, and how well it works for shallow scratches. Would definitely repurchase if I ever run out. I totally saturated 2 dressers and hardly used any of it.

I was absolutely stunned at the moment I wiped this over the scratch in my floor and it disappeared instantly before my eyes. I still followed the rest of the directions to wipe the area around the scratch and dry it to a shine, but the whole process took maybe 30 seconds. I had to look closely at my before photos to make sure I lined things up for the after photo because I could not find the scratch anymore. Looking close with a flashlight at an angle I could finally see find where it was, but I am so impressed by how quick, easy, and cheap this old English stuff is. I would have paid over $100 for results this good, but for less than 10 bucks this little bottle has enough to probably handle all the regular Knicks and scratches for the whole life of my floor. I can't say enough great things about this stuff because I didn't have high hopes for my very light oak floors, but I was so stunned that I felt obligated to write a review immediately. I hardly every write reviews but this stuff really is a miracle product just like all the other reviews say. Just make sure you pick the right one for your color wood, I almost missed that option when going to check out. If I get another good scratch in the floor I plan to post a video so you can see how magical this stuff seems to work.

I bought this because of a large number of scratches on my medium brown stained oak floor. Here is what it does well: 1. Change the tone of the wood from grayish tinge back to brown. As the wood gets older, the grain begins to show some age. This stuff is great to make it seem like new. I actually covered the entire floor with it and then put a coat of Minwax 60950 32-Ounce High Gloss Reviver Hardwood Floor Restorer on my floor. The combination worked really well to take a slightly dingy floor back up to new looking 2. Cover small scratches. It does the job and covers up the small scratches fairly well. You can still see them if you kneel down on the floor but from a standing position you can't tell. Here's where I was a little disappointed: - It doesn't cover large scratches well. I had a few large scratches and it covered them but the stain essentially made them darker than the surrounding wood. I had to do a fair amount of buffing to make it blend a little better but it's still noticeable. Overall, it did the job though and I'll be buying more when this batch runs out.

Las marcas que hizo mi perro fueron realmente profundas y este producto ayudó realmente a disimularlas.

Makes the furniture look like new.

Covers scratches really well.

جيد يلمع الخشب لكن الخدوش لا تختفي

Good product but pricey. I bought two, a light and a dark so you can mix and get any shade. That makes it very pricey if you are doing just one or 2 projects.
