I run into this all the time with our stripping of wood work for
staining. I use Zar wood patch, which is ok for staining, and then
sand, stain, and finish with polyurethane. It provides some character
to the wood surface, but the patch does take the stain. And character
is what you get with wood grain anyway, so if the surface is smooth,
it ends up looking real good. --Phil

I have some pine wood that has some deep surface scratches and dents. I
would like to get them out the best I could before I stain and finish
the wood. What is the best way to get scratches and dents out of pine?
Some of the the scratches may be as deep as 1/16 of an inch.

Someone said heat from an iron and steam. Is that right?
