Hello,

I have a possibly silly question.

Due to furniture being moved and children playing, I noticed that the sealant on the parquet floor has "cracked."

Is this a problem, or would you recommend sealing it? Is there a repair kit available for this?

Or should I just leave it as is, although it does look a bit unattractive.

That needs to be closed. It’s not entirely straightforward, though. The torn area will have to be sanded extensively to smooth the edges. Then, spray paint is applied. After that, the overspray is removed by wet sanding with 1000 grit. This is a job for a professional painter. It’s doable and probably only about 30 minutes of work. But you have to know how. Do you know an automotive painter? Karsten

No... does it have to be done by an auto painter?

Which spray paint do you recommend?

This does not have to be done by an automotive painter. However, someone like that will certainly know how. A skilled professional painter will probably know as well. Spray paint brand: No idea what is compatible. Most likely something acrylic-based. Karsten

No offense, but it might be better to have a flooring specialist handle that instead of a car painter/decorator. After all, repairing floors is part of their everyday work.

In Hesse, no parquet installer will come for just 2 scratches....
