Wax Filler Applicator Tool for Wood and Furniture Repairs

The Wax Filler Applicator Tool Spatula is a specialist tool for working with soft and hard wax filler sticks. It helps you apply the wax, remove excess material and level the repair, making it easier to achieve a neat finish when repairing scratches, dents, chips and other minor damage.

The tool has different edges for working with the two types of wax filler, plus two abrasive pads to help smooth the repaired area. It is a useful addition to a furniture restoration toolkit, particularly when carrying out localised repairs to wooden furniture and veneer.

Features of the Wax Filler Applicator Tool

• Sharp edge: Helps cut soft wax filler and smooth it into the damaged area.
• Serrated edge: Helps remove surplus hard wax and level the repair.
• Two abrasive pads: Useful for smoothing the wax after the excess has been removed.
• For soft and hard wax: One tool for working with both types of wax filler sticks.
• Furniture restoration: Suitable for detailed cosmetic repairs to appropriate wooden surfaces.

How to Use the Wax Filler Applicator Tool

Using soft wax filler sticks

1. Choose a soft wax colour that closely matches the wood or finish you are repairing.
2. Press the wax into the scratch, dent or damaged area, following the filler manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Use the sharp edge of the applicator to trim away excess wax and smooth the surface.
4. Check the repair and carefully remove any remaining surplus material.

Our Soft Wax Filler Sticks are designed for localised cosmetic repairs to suitable wooden surfaces and furniture.

Using hard wax filler sticks

1. Prepare the damaged area and select a suitable hard wax colour.
2. Melt and apply the hard wax using the appropriate equipment and the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Once the wax has cooled sufficiently, use the serrated edge to remove excess material and level the repair carefully.
4. Use an abrasive pad where appropriate to smooth the repaired area and improve the finish.
5. Inspect the repair and make any further adjustments needed to blend it with the surrounding surface.

For suitable repairs that need a firmer wax, see our Hard Wax Filler Sticks.

Wax Filler Tools for Antique Restoration

When restoring antique furniture, small scratches, chips and dents can be noticeable even when the rest of the piece is in good condition. Wax filler can help disguise this type of localised damage, while a suitable applicator makes it easier to remove surplus wax and achieve a more even repair.

Take care when working on valuable antiques, delicate veneer or aged finishes. Test your method on an inconspicuous area where possible and avoid abrasive materials if they could damage the original surface.

Complete Your Wax Filler Repair Kit

For a more complete furniture repair setup, pair the Wax Filler Applicator Tool with the appropriate wax filler sticks. You may also find our Black Touch Up Grain Pen useful when a suitable repair needs fine dark grain lines added to help it blend with the surrounding wood.
