April 27, 2018
Unsure of how to get the best results using Mohawk's 3-in-1
Repair Stick? We've got some tips to make your next touch-up job
quick and easy.
What is it?
The
3-in-1 Repair Stick is a tool that is designed to make wood
touch ups and repairs quick and simple. One side of the tool has a
leveler cap, which is used to remove excess material. Under the
leveler cap is the semi-soft wax filler stick (Fil-Stik). The
Fil-Stik can be used to fill in any nicks or scratches. On the
other side is a wood stain and finish marker that can be used to
color edges and scratches.
Our 3-in-1 Repair Stick comes in 15 colors.
Tips
- Before using, make sure that you shake the Repair Stick to mix
the paint stain in the marker. This will ensure smooth and even
application of the paint to your furniture.
- You can check the paint flow by pressing the tip of the marker
onto a rag. You will know your marker is ready for repairs when you
see the paint on the nib.
- Nothing is worse than trying to repair an impefection, only to
have your repair be noticeable. To avoid this, be sure to test your
color in a discreet area.
- If you have small nail holes and scratches, don't start looking
for your spackle and paint! The Repair Stick is perfect for quick
fills.
- Be sure to use your finger to blend the color into the surface.
Using your finger will give you better control over the appearance
of your repair and help you soften the edges.
- You can blend more than one repair stick to perfectly match the
color of your furniture. Did you know that our black and brown
sticks match IKEA® Black-Brown furniture?
