Best way to fix this chip in wooden chair?

[bobsmith2]

Hi,

I've got a wooden chair which has somehow been chipped. I can obtain some touch up paint from the manufacturer but would I need to use a wood filler + sand to get it right (e.g. something like ronseal wood filler). Are there any tips/advice on the best way to tackle this, including any tools that might help a beginner?

Thank you!

I'd mix powered filler really thick like putty. Way thicker than normal.
Thumb in.
Wet thumb smooth.
Paint..

It's so small you don't want to be sanding or making a bigger area to repair

Or use something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Furniture-...hvtargid=pla-1943135406460&psc=1&gad_source=1

If the rest of the paint around it is solid, I would be tempted to touch up with a bit of white paint and forget about the rest. As Wayners has said, I strongly expect sanding etc could make it worse. Particularly as painting a larger area should probably done with a sprayer to get the same factory finish (in my humble opinion!)

I would have dabbed a bit of Tippex on and moved on with my life by now.

Tape off and fill with paint , 4-5 fills should do it.
