Old English Scratch Cover for Light Woods, 8 fl oz Bottle, Wood Polish (Pack of 3)

So, this took about 15 minutes to apply. Yes, unless you want your hands to be stained like the wood, I recommend wearing gloves. Just realize that until the wood soaks up enough finish to replenish the natural oils that have evaporated over the time, in this case, over 30 years, and cures over time, one will have to reapply until you get to that point of occasional maintenance. I use the dark version on the walnut cabinetry in my RV, and it looks great, which is what convinced me to attempt to resurrect the finish on this cabinet that served as the base for a cat feeding/lounging station for the last 23 years! Normally, I redo the RV cabinetry once per year. I'll be redoing this cabinet about once per week until it stabilizes; then, decrease the frequency. Easy to apply with minimal fumes! I highly recommend for furniture with light scratches or surface finish imperfections.

Easy application

I have been using this for decades, it is slightly higher than some of the others but it WORKS! Scratches and worn spots will eventually reappear after several weeks to a month as the oil slowly absorbs completely into the wood or if you just reapply it every week or two it continues to stay nice. I have primarily use the one for light wood but the dark wood works equally as well but it is very dark and you don't want to use it on oak, hickory or maple. The image is of a cheap table my daughter got for free that had 8 or 9 white rings from where glasses were put on it with no coasters and it looked horrible. Now you have to look very hard to see something in the top left section of the table and the others just disappeared once I used Old English Scratch Cover. I highly recommend this product.

I have used this product in the past. It is still as great as it was then. It covers minor and minor chips scratches like a wood stain. It does not fill them. It is different from a wood stain in that it dries quickly like a furniture polish. This light version provides a good range of color matching. It does get darker with more applications. Note, as you add more the color gets darker and can make the blemish stand out instead of hiding it. If you need a darker shade of color, there is a dark wood version. I have in the past mixed the two to get a better match to the color I wanted. I don’t endorse, recommend, suggest, or in anyway indicate you should mix them. You should contact the manufacturer for their advice on mixing the two products.

It works well, just not as good as I was hoping.
