Erasing scratches with nuts

7.1.2019

Translation: machine translated

Walnuts have it all: they're delicious, they're smart and they repair your furniture. They make scratches disappear from your furniture.

Nuts make you smart, everyone knows that. Just to be at the top of your mental game, you should always have a few in your cupboards. Especially walnuts in the kernel, which are supposed to encourage the circulation of information in the brain. After all, their shape, which is very similar to that of our thinking organ, is perhaps not due to chance.
.
But they also have a very practical use. You can use them to hide small scratches on your furniture and floors. I speak for myself at least, chairs, DIY and other reasons that still escape me leave little scratches on the wood. It's not worth sanding and special tools to remove these scratches are relatively expensive, especially as they don't always work. So I resigned myself to it... Until recently.

Just take a kernel and rub it over the scratch, pressing lightly. With the rubbing, small particles of walnut will settle in the scratch and plug it up. The wood will also be oiled at the same time. To finish, polish the surface with a dry cloth and voila, you can't see anything.
