How to Repair Scratches on a Light Cherry Piano
- 1). Fill a small scratch in your light cherry piano with red shoe polish, a felt-tipped marker or a crayon. You may have to try a combination of a few colors on paper first to try to match your furniture. Try a package of furniture touch-up markers by combining the red and light wood colors to match the color of your wood.
- 2). Apply iodine as an alternative to crayons, markers or shoe polish. Dip a cotton swab in it and apply it, or use a very thin paint brush. Try it on an inconspicuous spot first, such as the underside of the piano, to see if the color matches.
- 3). Fill deep scratches with a wax stick by melting the stick and allowing a small amount to drip into the scratch. Work the wax into the scratch with a spatula and smooth it with a razor blade.
