Practical tips for best results
- Clean the repaired area to remove dust and oils before applying the pencil for best color adherence.
- Apply sparingly to scratches and holes; build up in thin layers if needed, then wipe away excess for a clean edge.
- After filling, allow any surface moisture to evaporate, then paint or finish over to blend with surrounding wood.
- Store in a cool, dry place to preserve color consistency and ease of application.
