How to use

Three minutes. Three steps.

No sanding. No colour matching. No cure time. Just the quiet ritual that's restored estate pieces for forty years — now in your hands.

The three steps

Everything you need is in the tin. Work along the grain and let the wood do the rest.

1

Prepare the surface

Wipe the wood clean and dry — good restoration starts on bare, dust-free grain. No stripping, no prep kit.

2

Brush it into the grain

Load the built-in brush and stroke Lence along the grain, over the scratch and around it. Let the wood draw it in.

3

Buff & reveal

Wipe away any excess with a soft cloth. Where the scratch was, there's now only grain. Photograph it, list it, done.

Start to finish in under three minutes — the same method trusted on heirloom antiques.

Pro tips

Little things we've learned restoring thousands of pieces. Reach for these once you're comfortable with the basics.

Super-fine steel wool

We've found that a super-fine (0000) steel wool, used gently along the grain, can work beautifully — in some cases even better than the brush for lifting stubborn marks and blending a finish.

That said, it's more aggressive, so we strongly recommend starting with the brush and only reaching for steel wool if the brush alone doesn't get you there.

Always try the brush first

Deeper damage? Layer it up

For deeper scratches, gouges or worn-through spots, don't try to fix it in one pass. Apply the first coat, let it sit, then keep reapplying — coat after coat — until you see the results you want.

Wood restoration rewards patience. Each layer builds on the last, so the grain fills gradually and the repair blends in seamlessly.

Patience beats pressure
