    • If the damage is affecting a larger area, use an electric or cordless drill with a small to medium sized drill bit and create small and shallow craters onto the chipped wood

    • This process is done so that the wood filler, used later on, has more surface area to adhere firmly

    • The drill should only be used to create small, shallow craters not holes in the furniture.

    • Apply a generous amount of wood filler to the chipped wood and let it harden completely before continuing with the remaining steps.

    • This part may take a while depending on how much wood filler is applied

    • If the chip/ damage is deeper apply the wood filler in layers and let each layer dry completely before applying the next.

    • While waiting for the wood filler to dry, you may choose to fix the other chips or scratches on the wood that do not require the use of wood filler.

    • Make sure to clean the smaller scratches and slightly sand them using the 150 grit sandpaper.

    • Then use a wood stain of your preferred shade that matches the rest of the wood and carefully fill in the affected areas

    • Once the wood filler completely dries, once again use the same 150-grit sandpaper to sand down the ragged edges of the now hardened wood filler as close to the original shape of the wood.

    • You may additionally use 220-grit sandpaper for a finer/smoother finish.
