How Do You Use a Touch Up Marker?

Published in Home Improvement 1 min read

You use a touch-up marker by running it along the damaged area to add color back to the surface.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  1. Identify the Damage: Determine the area you want to touch up. This might be a scratch, scuff, or faded spot.

  2. Prepare the Surface (Optional): Depending on the severity of the damage, you might want to clean the area first to remove any dirt or debris.

  3. Apply the Marker: Carefully run the touch-up marker along the damaged edge or area. Apply light pressure.

  4. Build Up Color: If needed, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Let each coat dry slightly before applying the next. This helps prevent the color from running or looking uneven.

  5. Wipe Away Excess (Optional): If you apply too much marker or get it outside the damaged area, you can gently wipe away the excess with a clean, soft cloth. Be careful not to remove the color from the intended area.
