Hi,
We have an old Victorian house with the original internal doors (thats about all that is original!).
The door to the front room had two cracked panels which I filled and then carefully tried to sand flat.
Careful I may have been but I have still slightly sanded the door in places. At these places gone is the deep pine colour, and instead it reveal a much lighter 'stripe' where the crack was.
What is the best way to get this darker.
It feels like it needs moisture so I was thinking something like a sparing amount of Danish Oil or similar?
I dont really want to stain or varnish as I fear it will leave the door all kinds of different colours.
Must have happened before so hoping someone may be able to assist me in sugesting a way to rectify this?
...typical isnt it, doors are (believed to be) around 100 years old then I go and ruin them!! Pah!
