Question - looks like a similar table and chair set that I currently own (IKEA)... have you done any repairs on the table surface that you could show on video?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 6 жыл бұрын

I think it was from Next. I bought it second hand. I haven't 'repaired' the table top but I did use the touch up marker on it which hid any chips. It is difficult to repair laminate, but the touch up hid any marks a treat. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Do you have any suggestions on what to use over the wax crayon furniture touch up sticks?? I'm not sure which finish I can use on top of the wax :/

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Amber, probably more wax, or use some turps or white spirits to remove the old wax then rework your new wax stick into the wood. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Hey there, I just ordered these to cover a small spot on a new piece of furniture. What's the difference between using the markers vs. the wax? Thank you in advance.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 жыл бұрын

Wax is better for real wood. The marker pens are good for thin veneers or cheaper furniture. The wax can actually fill the wood. Best of luck with it!

Hi there... how you doing? I need an advice from you, i have a very expensive side table, it had a crack, i filled the crack with wood filler and then sanded to smooth it now i need a matching paint for touch ups on that but I’m not sure how to match the color exactly... should i just paint the area or first i should stain or something? can you tell me how to match the color please?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 4 жыл бұрын

You could have used a wax coloured filler but as you have already filled it then you will need to find a matching paint or stain to go over the filler. Not a lot else you can do really. Sorry if that's not much help!

Hi , My desk has been scratched pretty badly , i can feel some sort of soft paper underneath so i'm wondering if fill sticks are the best thing to use for it . Also is there something to remove wax marks because candle wax fell on my desk and there's a mark on my desk and it looks really bad. My desk is new so I don't want to buy a new one - any ideas? Thank you.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 7 жыл бұрын

Hi there, if it's some sort of paper, then it's probably a laminate desk so probably colour pens will be best. Unfortunately that doesn't fill the holes up but does make it less noticeable. It's difficult to fill laminate, but you could try coloured wax. Failing that you could try a wood filler, and colour it once it sets, or buy a pre coloured wood filler to match the colour of the desk but this is a bit more of a DIY job rather than a quick fix with a pen or wax filler. As for removing the wax stain, try some turps (turpentine) on a bit of cloth and give it a light rub. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

+POUSE around the HOUSE cant you buy some kind of contact paper that you put on top of the desk? Or would it be easier to use some sort of paint or varnish?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 7 жыл бұрын

Probably easier to use paint or varnish than contact paper. The reason for the pens is they are cheap, quick and go back in the drawer for another use. Obviously there are better quality products like varnish and paints but they cost more and take a bit longer to do. It's entirely up to you. Give it a go and let us know how you get on.

NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER, use the wax fillers on furniture. Eventually they will dry out and leave an ugly stain. They will also begin to actually melt in warm weather and drip down the furniture. Use them at your own risk!!
