Modern Dining Table: Repairing Scratches on Your Glass Table

Glass tables can easily be marred by the appearance of scratches. As a general rule, the deeper or more complex the scratch, the more difficult it will be to remove. Deep or heavy scratches are best handled by specialists, but you should be able to treat the lighter ones at home. When repairing scratches on a glass modern dining table, remember that unless the top can be removed and placed on a solid and level surface, there is danger of cracking the glass when too much pressure is applied. It is not uncommon to try more than once to repair scratched glass.

1. Apply the polish or the toothpaste to the scratched area with a microfiber cloth.
2. Rub the polish or toothpaste in a rotating motion on the scratches for three to five minutes, apply just enough pressure to lightly braise  the surface. Your goal is to gently buff out the scratch by planning or smoothing the uneven surface of the glass in the damaged area.
3. Moisten the sponge with plain water and squeeze out any excess from the sponge. Wipe the surface of the glass, cleaning away the polish or paste. Look for any signs of progress.
4. Re-apply the polish or paste, and buff again if the scratches are still visible. Rise and check if any improvement has been made. Minor scratches should start to disappear after two or three applications.
5. Follow buffing the lighter scratches with an optional fill-in technique for more deeply scratched area. Use a fine paintbrush and clear epoxy, and gradually and slowly paint over the damage. Test the clear epoxy first in an inconspicuous section of the glass to ensure that the result is clear after it dries.
