The method of repairing the scratch on the surface of the aluminum railing can be selected according to the depth and size of the scratch. Here are some common fixes:
1. For shallow scratches, you can use fine sandpaper or abrasive to gently sand the scratch until the scratch is not obvious. However, please note that the aluminum alloy itself will have losses, so it should be operated with caution.
2. If the scratch is deep, you can use a professional metal filler. First clean the scratch area, then evenly apply the filler to the scratch, wait for dry and then smooth with sandpaper. Pay attention to the selection of filling agents similar to the color of aluminum alloy to reduce the color difference.
3. Aluminum foil is also a material for repairing scratches. Cut the foil to size and rub it back and forth until black marks appear on the surface. Next, gently wipe the scratched area with rubbed aluminum foil, which may make the scratch less noticeable.
4. Using toothpaste to repair scratches is also a common method. Apply the appropriate amount of toothpaste to a clean cloth, then fold the cloth into a ball so that the toothpaste fully penetrates into it. Then gently wipe the scratched area with a cloth until the scratch lessens or disappears.
5. For large scratches or damage, it may be necessary to replace the damaged aluminum railing parts. In this case, it is recommended to contact a professional aluminum rail manufacturer or repair service provider for treatment.
Please note that before attempting to repair scratches on the surface of the aluminum railing, it is best to conduct a small area test in an inconspicuous place to ensure that the chosen repair method will not cause further damage to the aluminum railing. At the same time, safety is always the first consideration, so it is important to take appropriate safety measures when carrying out any repair work.
