Hard Wax Filler Sticks Set

Hard Wax Filler Sticks for Wood, Floors and Furniture

Hard Wax Filler Sticks provide a durable way to repair localised damage to wooden surfaces. They are commonly used to fill scratches, holes, dents, cracks and chipped edges in wooden floors, furniture, cabinets, doors and antique pieces.

Unlike soft wax filler sticks, hard wax fillers are melted into the damaged area using a suitable heating iron. Once the wax has cooled and set, excess material can be removed and the repair levelled to create a neat finish.

Each stick measures approximately 4 x 1 cm. The sets are available in boxes of 20 or 40 mixed colours, allowing you to choose a suitable shade or combine colours for a closer match to the surrounding wood.

Benefits of Hard Wax Filler Sticks

• Durable repairs: Ideal for filling localised damage where a firmer wax repair is required.
• Furniture and floor repairs: Useful for scratches, dents, holes and chipped edges on suitable wooden surfaces.
• Colour matching: Different wax colours can be blended to match the existing finish more closely.
• Suitable for veneer: Can be used on suitable solid wood and veneered surfaces, as well as certain plastic surfaces.
• Two set sizes: Choose a box of 20 or 40 mixed-colour sticks.

How to Use Hard Wax Filler Sticks

1. Clean the damaged area: Remove loose particles, dust and debris before starting the repair.
2. Prepare the edges: Carefully tidy the edges of the damaged area. On suitable wood surfaces, gently rounding sharp edges can help prepare the repair.
3. Adjust the colour if necessary: If the surrounding wood needs colour correction, apply a suitable wood dye and allow it to dry before filling.
4. Melt the wax: Use a suitable heating iron to melt the hard wax filler into the damaged area. Take care to avoid damaging the surrounding finish.
5. Match the colour: Combine different wax colours where necessary to blend the repair with the surrounding surface.
6. Remove excess wax: Use the serrated edge of the Wax Filler Applicator Tool to remove surplus wax and level the repair. The abrasive pads can help smooth the surface where appropriate.
7. Recreate the wood grain: Where required, use a Black Touch Up Grain Pen to add fine grain lines and help the repair blend in.

Hard Wax Filler Sticks for Antique Restoration

Hard wax filler sticks are useful for restoring the appearance of antique and older furniture where scratches, dents and small areas of damage detract from the finish. They can also be used for repairs to suitable veneer, helping to disguise chips and damaged edges without refinishing the entire piece.

Careful colour selection and application are important for achieving a convincing result. Test your chosen colour and technique in an inconspicuous area where possible, particularly when working on valuable antiques or delicate finishes.

Hard Wax Filler Sticks for Wooden Floor Repairs

Hard wax filler sticks can also be used to repair localised damage to suitable wooden flooring, including small chips, dents and scratches. Select a colour that complements the floor and check that the repair method is compatible with the existing finish and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

For best results, prepare the damaged area carefully, apply only the wax needed to fill the defect and remove the excess without scratching the surrounding surface.
