A Behlen soft Fill Stick demonstrated on a small chip located on the leg of a table.
A rub-on putty and wax stick that fixes and eliminates scars, scratches, gouges, and abrasions on furniture, picture frames, leather, plastics and paneling. Accepts any type of top coat. Note: Colors are approximate representations of actual colors using modern process techniques. Variations may occur.
Step 1
Use the Behlen Leveler Card or an old charge card or a plastic putty knife to remove any loose splinters in the area to be filled, especially splinters that rise above the plane of the surface.
Step 2
Pick the color of Fill Stick that is closest to the finish on your furniture. If there is no exact match, a color that is a little too dark will look better than a color that is too light.
Step 3
Briskly rub the end of the Fill Stick over the damage, applying pressure as you rub. Stop the application when the damage is filled.
Step 4
Scrape away the excess Fill Stick material with the Leveler Card, old credit card or a plastic putty knife. Angle the card in the direction you are scraping. Scrape until the fill is even with the wood.
Step 5
Excess wax around the repair area will appear shiny. Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe away the excess wax around the edge of the fill. Be careful not to wipe the repair.
