Question Our large family room was pickled pined 6 years ago. Behind pictures that have been hanging on the walls for the 6 years, the walls are very light. You can see where the pictures were hanging. How can you darken this up to match the walls that have cured over the years?
Answer Mary,
There is not an easy solution I am afraid, this is a case of photo chemical synthesis ( Where the light has been denied behind the pictures)
I would try treating the areas with a Tung oil product such as Teak or Danish oil.
