If you want to remove scratches from a varnished surface, apply watercolor to the affected area. Let it dry for 30 minutes, then fill it with varnish. You can also use artist’s paint or oil-based craft paint. Choose a slightly darker color, as the color takes on a lighter shade on drying. Apply a small amount of color to the scratches, and that’s it!
