Mohawk recommends using a flat thin metal plate to press down over the hard melting wax immediately after application to flatten the surface and cool quickly.

@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531

Жыл бұрын

My flat scraper would be excellent for this! 🪵👍

A couple of other things that I have regularly used for "filling". One is hard resin burn in sticks. These come in transparent and opaque colors and I have done 10s of thousands of them. These are useful for repairing damage such as dents or scratches on the "show surfaces" You level them and then match the sheen level. Done properly, the repair is very hard to see. But it's not an easily learned skill to get it right. It takes a little practice. I probably have 50 different colors but the most used are light and dark amber transparent sticks. Second is a 2-part wood filler. Common brands are Bondo and Minwax. I have used these where there is deep damage like a dog chewed a large section of molding. It sets fast and you can rough trim with a chisel or knife before it's fully set up, then finish up by sanding. Mohawk and Guardsman make a variety of colors of the epoxy putty sticks. Just like the wax sticks, you can blend them together. They do set up much faster and you can accelerate by heating with a hair dryer. If you are in the shop, time does not matter as much as when you are working on site and have unproductive time waiting for the epoxy to set up. I've also used them to fill in where hanger bolts have stripped out of things like sofa legs.

@@FixingFurniture Ha. I had a job at the end of the day once that needed an epoxy fill, and I wanted to get home. I proceeded to heat with the hair dryer. It ended up getting hot, but sure cured fast. The general rule is chemical reactions double speed for every 18F/10C increase in temperature. I like your videos to see other approaches, even though I've now retired. Keep them up.

Great stuff. When you fix a tiny little nick in your favorite cabinet, by filling it with wax, does the wax then harden over time? I kind of hate the idea that there's soft wax in those nicks, that could easily come out if you accidentally scrape it. Can you put some sort of finish over it, which merges with the rest of the cabinet's existing finish? And would this finish then be hard enough to protect that soft wax and keep it in place?

Great video! I'm curious about your description of the Liberon sticks as burn-in sticks requiring a soldering iron. When I buy them at Lee Valley, the instructions say to work them with your fingers to soften them (from body heat, I presume) and apply them by hand. This has always worked for me, although I don't doubt that melting them into a defect is quick and effective too. A double-edged plastic "razor blade" (yes, this is a thing) is useful in working with wax sticks, as it has a bevelled edge that scrapes more easily than an old credit card or the like. They come in flexible and rigid varieties.

I had already ordered a Floor Fix by CalFlor repair kit on Amazon to use on the laminate floor gouges. The small holes in the area worked well but awaiting to see the results for the deep scratches. Mohawk Product wax stiks are confusing with all their different names. I bought the regular Fil sticks (which say heat not needed) to cover some scratches on a coffee table. They worked OK but not great. Therefore, i did not jump to order the hard fill and a soldering iron for the laminate floor.

Hi! I have a long split right down the middle of my dining room wooden table. How would I fill that? Split is very deep.

Superb tutorial. I'm being presumptuous that the wood filler products would be the best for concealing micro chips in veneer on the edges of mahogany furniture during a complete restoration.

Is there any downside to using joint compound instead of wood filler? I find that every time I go to use the wood filler it's dried up. Joint compound lasts much longer. This is of course for something that will be painted later.

Really useful. Thank you. I find that most wood fillers do not take stain.
