How to use
- Select the No.7 Red Mahogany, Red Oak blend that best matches your wood. Test on a hidden spot to confirm color alignment.
- Apply the pencil edge directly to the scratch, dent, or small gap. Use light, steady strokes to lay the pigment into the imperfection.
- Blend with the surrounding wood by smearing along the grain until the repair blends in—the dual-color mix helps camouflage subtle tonal differences.
- If you plan to finish the surface, paint over the repaired area once the color sets. The finish will layer smoothly over the pencil.
- For non-sanded repairs, wipe away any excess with a clean cloth and proceed with your finish as needed.
