In response to a request, I made a short video about a simple method I use to close and repair screw holes and small dents in furniture or accents I am working on.. the video attached is a quick demo on using steam to repair small damaged areas .. thanks for checking it out.

I was wondering how you closed the screw holes but a fellow LJer already asked. That is really cool. Thanks for sharing the video

Another neat trick you can do with steam. If you have a rivet setter for making “domed” rivets you can use it to punch the background of a relied carving or picture frame etc. Make sure the wood gets well depressed. Then really sand it down. After sanding apply plenty of steam and the domed wood you depressed will raise above the sanded wood giving you a nice “pebbled” result.
