How to Touch Up Scuffed Maple Wooden Chairs
Over time, chairs can start to get small scuffs from repeated use and contact with metal parts on clothing and other items. You can easily touch these up to keep the chairs looking nice. Touch-up finish markers are designed to conceal small scuffs and scratches by renewing the finish. A natural maple-colored touch-up marker can conceal the scuffs. Maple is a light-colored wood, so you may only need a clear finish touch-up marker, depending on how your chairs have been finished. Does this Spark an idea?
