Can this dent in a custom picture frame be repaired at home, or does the frame need to be replaced?
I recently noticed a small indentation/dent in one side of a custom diploma frame from Hobby Lobby. The finish is still mostly intact, but the dent is visible when light hits it.
The frame molding is listed as 08-817 Mahogany, 1.5-inch, F11. I already have a mahogany furniture-repair wax crayon, but I’m unsure whether filling and buffing the dent would blend properly with the satin/semi-gloss finish.
Does this look like something that can be repaired at home, or would the outer frame need to be replaced for it to look right? If it needs professional work, can a frame shop replace only the damaged rail, or would they typically remake all four sides?
