Colours to suit almost any timber Waxstix are so easy to use and so handy for quick repairs to scratched or damaged timber. Waxstix can be coated and stained. Plus, Waxstix contain no beeswax so they will not leave any white ring marking otherwise known as the “halo effect”. For most small scratches, simply rub the stick over the damaged area. For larger, deeper indentations (where TIMBERMATE water-based Woodfiller cannot be used), heat a knife blade with a flame or a soldering iron or stove lighter and fill the damaged area with hot wax. Remove excess wax by rubbing with the smooth side of sandpaper, a piece of cardboard or an old credit card. Use a cotton cloth to buff and remove excess wax.
