Hopefully baby #2 doesn't really eat his or her crib either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213931 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 18:49:50 +0000 regberadaisy 2213931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just going to cover it up with a teething rail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213896 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 18:17:13 +0000 delight 2213896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213895 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 18:15:48 +0000 78h2o 2213895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just touched it up with a tiny artist's paintbrush. No sanding. It doesn't look perfect, but it looks worlds better than it did before. The touch up isn't noticeable unless you look really closely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213873 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 17:34:31 +0000 Eko 2213873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not tried this yet myself and there may be better suggestions, but I would treat it almost as if I was touching up paint on a car. I would do the touch up paint by applying multiple really thin coats. Doing it that way I don't think you would need to sand anything, but if you do just lightly sand the whole area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213814 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 16:02:44 +0000 Raindrop 2213814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard rubbing walnuts on wood takes out marks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213813 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 16:02:33 +0000 Corduroy 2213813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also following. My current plan is to have MIL make a fabric cover for the crib rail to cover LO1's marks and prevent LO2's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213811 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:58:41 +0000 lovehoneybee 2213811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I was just thinking about this last night! Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-touching-up-crib-bite-marks#post-2213809 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:57:20 +0000 charlotte 2213809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are transitioning LO1 to a toddler bed and using his crib for LO2. There are a few bite marks on one of the railings where the white paint has come off.</p> <p>I have some non-toxic/no VOC/ baby safe paint to touch it up BUT I need your help as I am not much of a furniture painter or DIYer!</p> <p>Do I need to sand around the little patch of bite marks or the whole rail, or not at all? Any other tips or ideas for the best way to do this? Thanks!!</p> <p>...oh and I can provide a picture of the area that needs to be fixed once DS wakes up, if needed! :happy: </p>
