Some time soon I'm going to need to repair some cat scratches on
DucalPine "Victoria" range furniture - does anybody here know what the finish is so I can get a reasonable match? |

No doubt the result of a sophisticated finishing process (RF cured maybe). Best bet is to massage the area with Briwax original, which contains (well, USED to contain) enough volatile solvent to cut through most finishes, and buffs up to a decent shine I'll try that, but there are areas that will need a good sanding first so I'll be down to bare wood. |

Whatever you go for try it out on a small hidden area first. Is it highly polished ? If not I would try coating the bared areas with shellac or sanding sealer. Water based sanding sealer would be the handiest. Then after a light sand down I'd give it a coat of wax applied with wire wool and then plenty of elbow grease for each succeeding coat of wax. |

What finish on Ducal furniture?
Because when its stuffed with clothes the door will spontaneously open,
usually in the middle of the night and make an aerie creaking noise I expect, or maybe the parents of kids do not want them fossicing about in there for various adult or Christmas related reasons. I'm sure I've seen many simple locks like that advertised but of course it will mean quite a bit of work fitting a different type to the old one.
