Instructions
Color and Testing
Choose the wax filler stick color that best matches the wood you are repairing. Select a shade that is slightly darker if you cannot find the exact hue.
Test the wax filler for color, texture, and effect. Pick an inconspicuous spot on the finished piece or, if available, use a scrap from your finished project.
Using the knife, shave off a small amount of wax. Rub the shavings between your fingers or under warm water to soften the wax. Smooth the wax over the test area.
Repairing the Wood
Shave off wax from the stick, enough to fill the hole or crack. Soften the wax pieces between your fingers or under warm water.
Press the softened wax into the hole or crack with your fingers or with the plastic scraper. Use the scraper to make sure the wax is level with the surface.
Allow the wax to harden. Apply furniture wax or polish over the entire surface, if desired.
