They use compounds, formulas, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodsmith.com\/review\/copic-marker\/\">markers<\/a> to conceal any scratches and fill any cracks or holes found in furniture to make them look brand-new.<\/span>\n<h3><b>Parts of a Wood Repair Kit<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Markers <\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Markers are the most self-explanatory type of tool in a wood repair kit. They are used just like any other marker, and they leave behind a color corresponding to the color on the marker itself. Markers are the easiest to use, as all you have to do is run the marker over, and voila, you\u2019ve covered a scratch. Scratches expose the wood beneath, and if they\u2019re of a different color, they can be very easily noticed. Markers can hide the fact that a scratch happened at all and make the exposed wood look like it\u2019s part of the exterior.<\/span>\n<h4><b>Wax sticks<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wax sticks are an alternative to markers. They\u2019re thicker and smaller than markers and leave behind some material. These sticks are also quite easy to use but are a bit more difficult to manage. You need to sharpen the wax sticks regularly if you want them to stay sharp and in shape.<\/span>\n<h4><b>Compound<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compounds are liquid materials used to fill in the holes and gaps of wood. They solidify after a while and become indistinguishable from the rest of the wood as long as the colors are the same. Like markers and wax sticks, compounds come in colors corresponding to the type of wood they\u2019re meant to blend with. They can be a little difficult to work with on their own, which is why you use brushes and spatulas to keep them in place.<\/span>\n<h4><b>Brushes<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brushes help smear and apply compound over a flat surface. Wood repair compounds are quite thick and can be an issue when dealing with flat scratches, which is why you have a brush. The brush flattens and spreads the compound onto the wood, blending with the rest of the material. <\/span>\n<h4><b>Spatula<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spatulas are basically a clean-up tool of sorts for holes and cracks. After filling the space with a compound, there\u2019s a good chance a little extra compound that\u2019ll stick out has been left behind. To make sure it doesn\u2019t look too obvious, you can use the spatula to flatten the excess compound. This results in a flat and clean surface with no bulges.<\/span>\n<h3><b>Tips When Using Wood Repair Kits<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Don\u2019t leave the markers open for too long<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wood markers in wood repair kits function much like regular markers. The tips of the markers can dry up if left exposed for a while, and this can make it difficult to dispense the marker fluid in the future. After you\u2019re done with the marker, close it and keep it in a dry and cool area until you need it again. Try to limit its exposure to air as much as possible.<\/span>\n<h4><b>Work quickly<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The compounds used to fill in the gaps of the wood can dry fairly quickly, and if you aren\u2019t careful they can dry up before you\u2019ve made the finishing touches. As such, you\u2019ll want to work as quickly as possible, fixing up as much as you can before the compound finally dries up.<\/span>","review_data__faq_group":[{"question":"When should I use a wood repair kit?","answer":"Wood repair kits are best used when you want to remove or hide scratches, cracks, or other minor damage to wooden furniture or walls."},{"question":"Are wood repair kits universal?","answer":"While wood repair kits try to provide support for as many different wood colors as possible, there may not be options available for your particular type of wood if it’s uncommon and of a unique color."},{"question":"Are wood repair kits difficult to use?","answer":"No. It doesn’t take too much effort to use wood repair kits, and some of them are intuitive enough that you don’t even need any tutorials or instructions to use them properly."}],"review_data__top_10_show":"on","review_data__show_latest_posts":"on","review_data__latest_posts_group":["3065","3343","4824"],"review_data__general_commission":"","review_data__top_picks_style":"None","review_data__general_commission_checkbox":"on","review_data__users_group":["7"],"review_data__show_expert_block":"","review_data__show_bottom_expert_block":"","review_data__expert_name":"","review_data__expert_bio":"","review_data__expert_website":"","review_data__related_expert":"","review_data__expert_avatar_id":"","review_data__expert_avatar":"","SPR_data__general_text":"","SPR_data__general_elevator_pitch":"","SPR_data__authors_group":"","SPR_data__button1_title":"","SPR_data__button1_link":"","SPR_data__button2_title":"","SPR_data__button3_title":"","SPR_data__content_desc":"","SPR_data__pros_title":"","SPR_data__cons_title":"","SPR_data__content1":"","SPR_data__content_image":"","SPR_data__faq_title":"","SPR_data__related_group":"","SPR_data__general_score":"","SPR_data__general_commission":"","SPR_data__faq_group":"","review_data__general_excerpt":"","review_data__disclosure_type":"","review_data__general_small_text":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With some of the highest-rated wood repair kits of 2024, you can bring your wooden furniture back into tip-top shape.
