Load your brush with just enough paint to cover the touch-up area. Start in the middle of the touch-up spot and work your way out to the edges.
Apply the paint as evenly as possible. Use light layers to evenly coat the scratch. Before you begin painting, the board needs to be free of dirt and other blemishes that can prevent the paint from adhering to the plank.
You will have to find a matching paint with the same color and sheen. You can find a matching paint with us.
Tip
Do not paint too far past the scratch you’re touching up. Test a small area for color matching before proceeding.

When can Cedral paint not be used?
