How to remove scratches and burn marks from tabletop?
If burn marks and scratches are deep into the wood of the table, you have to go through complete refinishing of your table. Start by stripping the finish and then the surface of the table. You should sand out burn marks evenly and thoroughly. Use artists’ oil paints to touch up burn marks. Start with lighter colors first and then proceed to darker colors. Apply in definite strokes and do not pile up paint. Allow wood to soak in paint and then let it dry completely.
