FAQs
What types of wood can I use this on?
Liberon Retouch Cream is suitable for use on most painted or finished wood surfaces. It is especially effective for white finishes.
How long does the repair last?
The longevity depends on the surface's exposure to wear and tear. For best results and longer-lasting repairs, consider applying a protective topcoat like wax polish.
Can I use this on deep scratches?
This product is best for minor cosmetic imperfections like small dents, chips, and light scratches. Deep scratches may require more substantial repair methods.
Does it require any special tools for application?
No, it can be applied by hand or with a soft cloth. A clean, soft cloth is also needed for buffing.
Can I paint over the repaired area?
Once dry and buffed, the area can typically be painted. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with your chosen paint.
How should I store the Retouch Cream?
Store the cream in its original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its consistency.
Troubleshooting
Cream not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax, polish, or grease. Lightly abrading the area may help adhesion.
Repair is still visible.
Apply a second thin layer of retouch cream. Ensure it is evenly applied and buffed correctly. For color mismatches, consider a complementary Liberon product.
Excess cream is difficult to remove.
Gently scrape away excess with a plastic scraper, being careful not to damage the surrounding finish. Then buff with a soft cloth.
Patchy finish after buffing.
Ensure the cream was applied evenly. Try buffing in a circular motion to blend the edges. A light application of a suitable wax polish over the entire area can help unify the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the surface to be repaired is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use on painted or finished wood surfaces. It is particularly effective for white finishes. For other colors, consider Liberon's range of wood dyes or polishes to achieve a closer match if the retouch cream alone is insufficient.
Care: Apply a small amount of cream directly to the damaged area using a soft cloth or your fingertip. Rub gently into the scratch, chip, or dent until it is filled. Allow to dry for a few minutes. Buff the treated area with a clean, soft cloth to remove any excess and restore shine. For enhanced durability, especially on high-traffic surfaces, consider applying a suitable wax polish or lacquer over the repaired area once the retouch cream has fully set.
