Applying Burn-In Balm in Wood Scratch Repair

Video Transcript

"Alright now they've cooled and hardened up a little bit, both of our burn ins, now we're going to use another product. It's kind of like a wax or a Vaseline. We put it on, the whole surface around the area we've got filled in. What this cream does, is it doesn't allow the stick, these plastic sticks, when I melt the knife into them, to re-harden, on the surface around the divot. What I want is, a nice application, of this, around both surfaces, so when I begin to smooth it out, this won't stick. It'll come off really easy with a rag or even our fingers. In doing that, it protects the surrounding finish because, if we didn't have this, we'd keep burning out further and further and out divot would just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger, so we want to keep it isolated to small an area as possible and work around that particular area. Again, whenever I'm putting anything on and I'm trying to work with the grain, I'm putting the material on, this doesn't matter so much but the next step, that I pull, we're going to pull it in the direction of the grain of the wood. So now we're all set to continue, this will just sit here for a minute, float out and then we'll continue on."
