Tibet Almond Stick Scratch Remover - Touch Up and Repair Hardwood, Furniture, Floors Instantly - All-In-One Kit for Restoration of Cabinets, Vinyl, and More - Odorless, Colorless, Non-Toxic

This is likely the best find I have ever made on Amazon - I'm amazed at how well this works! In a house FULL of solid wood doors and woodworking, the upkeep of the finish with children and animals can always be a challenge. I'm convinced the previous owner of my home has never seen an over the door storage system he didn't like (shoe racks, towel racks, coat and hat racks, canned goods, ironing board hangers). Couple that with my own pets scratching at the bottoms of closed doors and one of my kids carving their initials into the outside of their bedroom door as their very first project with a pocket knife, you could say my wood doors have taken quite the beating. I thought I had tried EVERYTHING short of sanding and refinishing all of my wood doors: a) wood crayons still left visible differences despite best efforts to match colour, b) wood stains are impossible to perfectly match without also getting the stain onto the surrounding finish craeating a "Halo" effect, and 3) home remedies of trying to "steam" the wood scratch to swell shut from YouTube can leave undesired heat shading/clouding ruining surrounding wax finish. As my kids have grown, I'm preparing to downsize sale my home and with the years of the described abuse, I was resolved that the only way to 1) fix these unsightly marks on my doors and door facings and 2) keep all of my wood finish through the home uniform...was to sand and refinish it all. I was fully and mentally resolved to begin this huge task, until a co-worker threw me a Hail Mary in suggesting this product - and for what I was about to undergo in time, mess, energy and finishes, this $10 product saved me well over $1500 had I contracted the work to a local woodworker. I'm not sure the circumstances surrounding all the negative reviews from others - I will say this product is NOT a wood putty and this product will NOT fill the voids/scratches; however what it does do, is hydrate the voids/scratches and the formula seems to pull in/reflect the surrounding wood finish, making the voids/scratches disappear "visually". This was perfect for my needs/applications. I had scratches voids/scratches as deep as 1/8" and wide as a quarter inch, and can hardly see them unless my face is just a few inches away from the surface. I've attached before and after pictures from 2 of my worst doors (severe dog scratches from a dog trying to get in to a bedroom, and carving from a pocket knife, with surrounding small impact/dings elsewhere on the door from backpack zippers and lariners). As mentioned, this does not fill the voids, but it does visually hide the voids. There is no cure time for this product to 'set" or dry; in excess, it has an oily feel and wipes easily with an ordinary cotton rag or paper towel. As for how long the products effects last within the repaired scratches - I'm guessing quite a long time; upon application, I repolished/hand buffed the wood with Old English - the scratches and dings were still just as unnoticeable as before polishing over the same area.

I purchased an antique clock at a yard sale, but my adorable but destructive kitten got into the closet where it was stored and scratched it up. The scratches were deep and very obvious. I was recommended this product by a friend and I'm SO glad I used it! The before and after says it all- it worked beautifully! The scratches actually look more visible in the photo then they look in real person. The stick was super easy to use, didn't have a strong smell, and dried quickly. I followed the advice from other reviews and only peeled back the wrapper a bit as I used it, keeping the majority of the stick in the wrapper, which worked great. Of course, it's not a replacement for getting something professionally refurbished, but it worked perfectly for me. I HIGHLY recommend this product and will be purchasing again/recommending to everyone I know.

Works like a miracle on light and medium wood. Easy to use. Lots of product for the price. Does not work as well on dark wood. Treatments have now lasted over 3 weeks and still looking great. Note, this is for surface scratches, not gouges.

THIS THING IS AMAZING! Someone left extremely visible white water stains on an antique table at my STR. I was devastated. I figured I give this a try to remove them. Not only did it remove the stains, but I ended up treating the whole surface of the table. When I was finished, it practically looked new!

I had low expectations for this and boy was I wrong… we have a dresser with tons of scratches from moving and this stick quite literally ERASED them. Can you still see tiny little indents in the wood from up close? Yes. But I was absolutely blown away by how well it worked. I highly recommend!!

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't understand why this product is so loved. I used it on my floor and a table with less than impressive results. On the floor it turned the scratch black. Not what I was going for. On the table, there was no improvement at all. And that was that. I'm not impressed. And it was a LOT of money for something that doesn't work at all. Do not recommend.

I ordered the Tibetan almond stick for my daughter to use on her recently purchased second hand table. I’ve been using the stick for decades on furniture and my hardwood floors. While it won’t erase deep gouges (and it doesn’t claim to do that), it does work wonders on light scratches. I’m still using the same stick I bought years ago — it lasts a long time!

Worked wonders on a cedar chest scratched by the dog. We use it as a coffee table, so the damage is visible/on display. The scratches are not 100% gone, but at least 90%. Did not work on the bedframe, maybe the scratches were too deep or the glaze/coating impacted the product. Has a strong medicinal smell when using, but dissipates quickly. Worth the price for my cedar chest alone.
