"Alright, now we've got everything leveled and smooth, we're going to put these up and we're going to go to our next repair item and that's colors. As you can tell, this gouge here, we got to work on the color some more. This one was never broken, so we're in good shape there. We're going to do a little polishing in the future and fix that up, but right now, we're going to concentrate on this big divot over here. So as you can tell, they have lots of different colors, even in the powder stains. And what these give you are a rainbow of effects we can put down on the surface here. We're going to need a little bit of lacquer to mix with it. And this is a lacquer base. It dries quickly. And we'll be able to mix up, hopefully, close enough to the colors to where this big spot will disappear. These are the powders and, again, this is a lacquer that I just spilled, so we'll have to get that again. But these are the things we're going to use to continue on the process."
