Hardwood Hints - How to Steam Pop Dents Out of a Floor Featuring NWFA Regional Instructor Lenny Hall. #hardwoodhints #nwfa #hardwoodfloors #demo #training
I own a wood window and door company and do this all the time. Works perfectly . . make sure that you soak thoroughly even if it takes once, twice, three times. I'm doing an oak door right now that's had a bad nail scratch from crating. It will be an overnight soak as well . Door is worth $10,000 and I know it will work fine. Also make sure you don't overheat. I use teflon paper between the iron and the wet cloth. Soak more than overheat. The stain will dry out and become the same color as the wood beside it. There is a small chunk of wood that the crating nail dislodged removed far, far away so I will match the White Oak and glue a small piece of Oak in on this door. Definitely easier when it's unfinished
I have some floor dings which I want to repair. I plan on doing this procedure even if it damages the poly. I plan on doing a screen and recoat in the near future, which should take care of the problem, so I'm not too concerned about that.

thank you so much- straight to the point but still so informative and detailed
Thank you! Worked really well to lift up some fairly deep dents in white oak.
Wow, that was really helpful. I will try that out!
Very helpful! Thanks
I tried this once…bad idea…bubbled up the poly coating. Put little bubbles all in it. If your floors are sealed, be wary of this technique.

Great video, although my heart sank right around 1:00
Won’t this damage the lacquer varnish on the wooden floor? I have a teak wood flooring with a dent that I hope to remove…
What about a bowed board that you need to use to replace a damaged board??
Thanks. Does this tips work well with Oak ? I'm affaid of water mark with my Oak floor.
Can you do this with the engineered wood?
