• Each stick measures 83mm long with a diameter of 15mm.

Used For:

• These coloured sticks are used for repairing cracks and small holes in most wood surfaces larger than about 1mm deep.
• Tiny cracks and imperfections can be filled with our  Cabinet Makers Wax.

Surface Preparation:

• Ensure the  surface is clean and dry before application.
• Beeswax Filler Sticks should be used before any application of oil, wax or lacquer finish.

How to Apply:

• The sticks can be melted a number of ways depending on the application. Generally speaking, they can be easily melted with a candle/lighter and dripped into the gap needing filling.
• Alternatively, you can soften one in a microwave (test in increments of a few seconds - it just needs to be malleable), then the softened stick can be pushed into the gap. 
• Another method is to chip off the quantity required and melt it into the gap using a heat gun or hair dryer. This needs to be done carefully as the additional heat may affect the surrounding finish. 
• Exercise caution when melting as the wax is moderately flammable in this state. In all cases scrape back any excess immediately using a plastic spatula or credit card before the wax hardens.

Dry Time:

• 10 - 30 minutes depending on ambient temperature.

Clean Up:

• Citrus solvent or mineral turpentine.
