Basic Burn-In Procedure
1. Clean the area to be repaired with Behlen De-Waxer 741.2. Choose the color closest to the lightest color in the wood. If the damage is a dent with no color loss, use the clear stick.
3. Use a sharp knife to gently remove any damage or splinters. Make sure nothing protrudes above the surface of the wood.
4. Use the Burn-In Knife to melt Burn-In Stick and allow the melted stick to flow into the damage area until it is slightly overfilled.
5. Protect the existing finish by applying Burn-In lubricant to the area surrounding the filled damage.
6. Pull the Burn-In Knife across the damaged area to level the surface of the burn-in material.
Never allow the edge of the knife to stop on the surface of the wood,
as stopping will cause a knife mark. Always wipe the knife clean, on a cloth, between strokes.7. If Needed, Apply Wool-Lube™ Rubbing Lubricant to the surface.
8. Gently sand with P400A or P800A waterproof sandpaper wrapped around the cork block over the repair in the direction of the grain.
9. After a few strokes, stop sanding and determine if repair is level.
10. Clean the repair area with De-Waxer 741.
11. If grain must be added, use a Graining Pen to draw in the missing lines.
12. Apply a topcoat that is appropriate for the piece being repaired.
