FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these touch-up pens?
The Liberon 3 Part Touch-Up Pens are designed to disguise superficial scratches and small blemishes on finished wooden surfaces, helping to restore faded colour in small areas.
How many colours are included in one pack?
Each pack includes three different colour tones of oak, allowing for a better colour match to your specific furniture.
Can I use these pens on unfinished wood?
No, these pens are formulated for finished wooden surfaces. Using them on unfinished wood may result in an uneven appearance or poor adhesion.
Are the repairs permanent?
The repairs are water and wipe-resistant once dry, providing a durable touch-up for minor imperfections. However, they are intended for cosmetic fixes and may not be as permanent as the original finish.
How do I clean the pen tip if it gets clogged?
Ensure the cap is replaced tightly after each use. If the tip dries out, you may be able to gently rehydrate it with a small amount of appropriate solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol, and then test on an inconspicuous area.
What kind of damage can these pens fix?
These pens are best suited for very light scratches, scuffs, and small blemishes. They are not designed to repair deep gouges or structural damage to the wood.
Can I use these pens on furniture other than oak?
While specifically designed for oak, they may work on other wood types with a similar finish. It is always recommended to test the colour and finish on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Colour match appears incorrect.
Try blending the three included colours or use a different colour from the pack. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Pen tip is dry or blocked.
Try to rehydrate the tip gently with a suitable solvent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) or use a fine-tipped applicator if available. Ensure the cap is replaced tightly after each use.
Repair is still visible.
This product is for superficial blemishes. For deeper scratches or damage, professional repair or a more intensive restoration method may be required.
Water resistance does not seem effective.
Ensure the dye has dried completely as per instructions. Reapply if necessary, allowing ample drying time.
