Help....I have a LONG groove (dent) in my oak hardwood floor from moving a VERY heavy upright piano. One of the wheels on the piano didn't roll properly and left the approx 8-9 foot long groove in my floor. Do you think this method will raise the groove without removing the varnish or will I end up having to have it refinished also? Thank you in advance!
Hi Danielle. I think you will have to remove the varnish to do that job and it is unlikely that you will be able to remove all of the dent. Hope it goes well. Let me know. Thanks
@@woodworkhubby721 Thank you so much for responding to my question quickly. I believe you are correct! I tried the steam method last night and it didn't help 😵💫 Ugh... I was so hoping it would save me time and money. I will retain this useful information for small repairs. 🤓

Hi! Will this work on timber flooring? I’m renting an apartment and there’s a couple of dent that I’d like to try with this method…
Would.this work if it's had a water based sealer over the timber?
Most likely not. The finish would seal the wood fibres. You need the water and steam to penetrate the wood fibres for this to work
So would you suggest pre sanding the dented area?
The floor is finished gloss I would like to try your method. But my question is would need to sand the area before try this method?

@@Dcrown1967 no problem. Good luck with the repair and I’m sorry it didn’t work for you this time
Very useful thank you
Great info , thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Will the steam remove the finish from my floor?
Sorry for the delay with responding. Be careful with lacquer finishes as the steam can get under it causing it to lift
GREAT!
I can't get this small dent to come out of my guitar 😔
Did you try steam
Sometimes the finish on the wood will stop the steam from penetrating
I did try steam. I think it may have made it smaller? But thats it
@@icepick859 if it doesn’t come out it’s because the wood fibres have been cut
I've flattened a wood figures nose, can this be sorted
