FAQs
What types of wood damage can this pen repair?
The pen is best suited for concealing superficial scratches, scuffs, and minor blemishes on finished wood surfaces. It is not intended for deep gouges or structural damage.
How many colors are included in the pack?
The pack includes three color tones: Pine, Oak, and Mahogany, to provide versatility in matching different wood finishes.
Is the finish waterproof?
Yes, the finish is water-resistant and wipe-resistant once it has dried completely.
Can I use this on unfinished wood?
No, this product is designed for use on finished wood surfaces only. Using it on unfinished wood may lead to inconsistent results or staining.
How do I ensure the best color match?
Always test the pen on an inconspicuous area of the wood or on a spare piece of wood before applying it to the visible damage. This helps confirm color compatibility and desired results.
What should I do if the color is slightly off?
For minor discrepancies, you can try applying a second thin coat. If the color is significantly off, it's best to remove the applied dye (if possible before it fully cures) and try a different color or blend. Always test first.
How long does the pen last?
The lifespan of the pen depends on the frequency and extent of its use. Ensure the cap is always replaced securely after use to prevent the felt tip from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Color does not match the wood.
Wipe off the applied color immediately with a clean cloth (if still wet). Test another color or attempt to blend colors on a scrap piece first. For dried applications, light sanding might be necessary before reapplication.
Pen is not dispensing color.
Ensure the cap is securely on when not in use. Gently shake the pen. If the felt tip appears dry, try moistening it slightly with water and retesting.
Scratch is still visible after application.
The scratch may be too deep for a single application. Allow the first coat to dry completely and apply additional thin coats. Ensure the color is an accurate match.
Finish appears uneven or streaky.
Apply the dye in thin, even strokes following the wood grain. Avoid applying too much pressure. Wipe away excess immediately after application if streaks appear.
