Hello everyone,
I recently moved my Billy shelf from IKEA and unfortunately noticed several visible scratches on the edges and surfaces. Some of the scratches are quite deep and not just superficial. Since it’s an older model, I’m not planning to replace the entire shelf, but I would still like to improve its appearance.
My specific question is: what household remedies, products, or tricks do you know for reliably and permanently concealing scratches on a Billy shelf made of wood or particleboard? I’m looking for solutions that don’t require fully repainting the piece, but rather allow for spot repairs. If anyone has experience with special markers or wax fillers, please share.
I’m looking forward to your tips and recommendations!

Great, that all sounds really good! 🙂
Regarding the question about sandpaper: I usually use 240 grit, which is more than enough to slightly roughen the surface without leaving any marks.
And hey, keep your chin up! Every small improvement is a step toward success. I’m looking forward to your updates here in the thread! Enjoy the restoration! 🙂
