How do I fix this? I want my deposit back

Try to pull it up with a wet shop towel and an iron. Then touch up the color with white color wash and acrylic poly.
>>2948139it strikes me as utterly psychotic that some landlords expect their living quarters to appear pristine, even after months of people living in them. they have to be very aware that this isn't a reasonably goal for anyone.
>>2948153So I shouldn't use something like a wood filler?
>>2948139Epoxy putty, painter's tape and sandpaper. Tape around the indentation, smear with putty, scrape excess with a razor blade before it hardens, remove tape, lightly sand with high grit sandpaper or magic eraser. Use a micro-detail paint brush and water-based paint to restore the wood grain pattern.

>>2948185Most landlords get absolutely shafted with repairs. They hire property management to separate themselves from tenants. Think about how many people unravel financially then take their frustration out on anyone they can. Think how many renters don't take care of pets or their houses. I also think the prop managers are leveraging for the deposits themselves.>>2948195The issue with wood filler is that it will be a solid color and flat. You have a highly porous rough sawn maybe white oak. It's been pickled or say a minwax white color wash as a cheap finish example. There's a collection of white, brown, and black that you'd have to hand paint to conceal. Finish touch up is a profession that would be more art than science. It's something I have to dabble in but try to conceal all evidence because clients and my business lay all blame on my plate. I tend to attack issues little by little. Keep making progress. We have a color palette of seam fill, but I've never hand painted wood grain for restoration. That's always my last line of repair. If it was worse, you might carve some out with a router and glue in a patch. I think you can lift a lot of the problem away with steam.
>>2948195did anyone say woodfiller? dipshit just reduce the obvious ridges and paint over the black burn. nobody is going to fucking notice it, most renters fucking use the carpets as a shitter and leave 12" holes in the walls because renters are fucking garbage and assume they're not getting their deposit back because they're not paying the last months rents anyway.you only see it because you know it's there and if the management company wants more that $12 of you deposit to do what I told you to do twice then you should sue their fucking asses anyway.like seriously you have no idea how fucking asshole renters are.
