## Description

Product Description               In 1969, Douglas G. Howard set out to solve this dilemma: how can you eliminate blemishes in wood finishes and restore the original color and luster without removing any of the existing finish? Unable to find an answer at his local hardware store, he went to work in his garage to create his own product. His goal was to make something that would be much more than a surface treatment, yet nothing like a stripper or a refinisher. The key was to develop a formula that could clean and polish the surface, penetrate the finish with stain, and leave the original finish intact. The end result was Restor-A-Finish, Doug Howard's first in what would become a complete line of wood care products. For over 40 years, Howard's Restor-A-Finish has been a standard in the antique industry. Because Restor-A-Finish preserves the original wood finish it also helps preserve its authenticity and value, whereas stripping the finish may literally strip the piece of its value. Almost any existing wood tone, from a Birdseye Maple to a Jacobean, can be closely matched using one of the nine available finish colors. Trying it on just about everything with a traditional wood finish, antique dealers, refinishers, and homemakers have found it to be a safer and easier alternative to stripping and refinishing. Scratches, oxidation, white heat rings, watermarks, smoke damage, and sun fade simply disappear.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it help with acetone stain?**
A: What I’m sure your seeing is not a stain, acetone would of removed some of the varnish or protective coat giving you patches, so depending on the size of the area and location it shouldn’t be a problem. The approach would be to make a paste using hard wax, start with a couple of drops of the closest shade, and increase the wax paste/restore a finish ratio until you get a good blend, let it sit for a few minutes, buff. and repeat if you need too.

**Q: Have an old dresser turning into bathroom vanity. color is dark and matching stain looks like gooseberry. What color do I use?**
A: Go to "Howard RF 1008, 8 Ounce Restor-A-Finish". They show 9 colors. As you click on each color. Match the closest color seen on the can with that of your dresser.

**Q: Will rub on transfers adhere to finished wood?**
A: I used this product on our front door which was slightly weathered & dull, but still had a finish on it.  It soaked into the finish & the door looks much better.

**Q: Is this food grade safe?**
A: No
