How to Use Liberon Wax Sticks

Color and Testing

• 1

  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.

• 2

  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.

• 3

  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

• 4

  Shave off wax from the stick, enough to fill the hole or crack. Soften the wax pieces between your fingers or under warm water.

• 5

  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.

• 6

  Allow the wax to harden. Apply furniture wax or polish over the entire surface, if desired.
