Varnished Surface
Minor scratches. Rub with the meat of a walnut or similarly oily nut, or with floor paste wax.Larger scratches. These can be filled by rubbing with a wax stick made for use on furniture. Or you can touch up the scratches with matching oil stain applied with a small artist's brush.
The alternative is to sprinkle rottenstone, available from a paint store, on the scratch and rub with a cloth dipped in salad oil or sewing-machine oil. Work with the grain. This will take off quite a lot of the finish, and it may be necessary to refinish with oil stain. But if you haven't cut through the varnish to the wood, several applications of paste wax should pretty well hide the blemish.
Varnish rough, gummy. This may happen if the varnish is very old or has not been applied under the proper conditions. The best answer is to strip the surface with stain-remover. Steel-wool the undersurface. Then apply new varnish (see Basic Methods: How to Paint). Water spots. First try rubbing spot with cigaret ashes and a cloth dipped in salad oil or sewing-machine oil. If this doesn't work, put spirits of camphor on a cloth and daub on spot. Let dry for about 30 minutes. Then rub on rotten-stone with cloth dipped in oil. Remove residue with benzine.
