Touch Up Wall Scratches
Small wall scratches can often be repaired without repainting the entire room.
1. Clean the scratched area with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
2. Fill deeper scratches with a small amount of spackle.
3. Allow it to dry completely.
4. Sand lightly until smooth.
5. Remove the dust.
6. Apply matching touch-up paint with a small brush.
đĄ Handyman Tip: Test your touch-up paint in an inconspicuous area first. Even the same color can look different as paint ages.
If scratches are widespread or the wall requires extensive patching, call Dela Torre Handyman Services at (909) 242-6779.
