That is going to be cheaper than buying those cover up sticks at Lowes.
I recently bought some of those and have still not used them.

I've used them on my antiques but I prefer to match the stain using a Q Tip. Liquid Gold and 0000 grade steel wool works great as well. One of the shorties got something on John's Grandmothers antique dresser and the Liquid Gold/ steel wool worked great. Kids are animals. I don't know how you parents do it day after day.

We always made sure to replace all but 1 working lightbulb with burnt out bulbs so that it would be as dark as possible while they were checking the room for damage. And if we thought we really needed luck on our side we would take the RA that was going to be checking the room and get him drunk the night before. With a bad enough hangover he would overlook just about anything.
Funny stuff Mutt!...lol. Some of the guys on my college dorm tried to pull one over on our RA a few times but rarely got away with it...lol.

Anyway, that's a great tip Pam! I'll have to remember this one.

Our Pam is out of action, due to bad storms this morning.
These storms were serious.....let's all hope and do whatever we can to make it so, that she is okay.

That's a great tip! PJ's last post was 5:50pm so looks like she got through the morning storm okay.
