| Shellac sticks come in all colors - you heat the shellac stick until consistency of putty then fill crack - use hot knife to smooth surface before it dries (dries pretty quickly) - once dry can be polished to match luster of chair. Can purchase at woodworking supply, art supply and online - run @ $4 per stick - it's what restorers use to fill and color match cracks in furniture. |

| Say some more about the "cracks" Are they scratches, alligatored finish, cracks in the wood, or something else? While burn-in repairs are one solution (I do them nearly every day), they are not without a learning curve, and there may be better or easier solutions. |
