Alcohol will work deeper into the wood and may expand the cell structure better than stream alone. Works on deeper more stubborn dents. If this does not work then you can fill the dent by dropping in your finish in multiple layers. Filling a dent is much better than sanding the wood.
Will alcohol hurt the original finish? Also- If I mess up the finish- What product can I use to blend it back in with the original finish?
