Hi. I've got a wooden table that's about 20 years old and is in
reasonably good condition except for a gouge about 1 cm across on one edge (top left of image). http://i36.tinypic.com/ek1clu.jpg Can anybody recommend a DIY product that'd do a reasonable repair? -- Dave Farrance |

Your best bet might be to steam-treat it with a steam iron, which swells the wood fibres... never actually tried it myself but I'm told it can give excellent results David |

Steaming good. Wet, wrung-out tea towel, hot iron - let the steam
sizzle for a good few seconds - repeat as necessary until you've lifted out all you can. Works best on surface dings and compression type damage. If it still needs filling, Brummer is the product used by most cabinet makers: http://www.axminster.co.uk/category-Fillers-206896.htm You can also blend sawdust of the right colour with a glue like cascamite to make up a matching filler. |

Brummer is basically clay, which IMO is not really flexible enough for an exposed edge. It would probably behave like a loose knot. Fair point. |

Then sand the whole table and give it some sort of varnishing. It looks like solid wood and that it would cope. |

Not sure of the OP's circumstances though. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
