Minwax 110096666 No 9 Blend-Fil Wood Repair Stain Pencil, Ebony Jacobean

goed

I must have dragged something sharp over my wood floors, they were stained dark last year and the scratch was near a window so it was terribly visible. It was a LONG thin scratch. I used this stain pencil in ebony over the wood, I colored in the scratch like a little kid drawing with a crayon, getting it from all angles. The excess wiped away easily with a rag, You can't even tell where the scratch was. I am so happy this pencil worked because I had tried stain markers for another spot previously and they are hard to apply neatly, excess gets on the good part of the wood and won't wipe off, and looks fake. I will only use these pencils from now on.

I purchased a pencil and a pen to help fill in scratches and chips in my dark wood floor. The pencil is best used for deeper cuts as opposed to surface scrapes. I found that the best way to fill in the deeper cuts is to "shred" the pencil tip and let the colored wax fall in and pack the groove. This is difficult with the shape of the pencil and I had to use a pocket knife to mold the tip to allow this functionality. It would be more helpful if the pencil came with a thinner, longer tip. The color is great and the fill works well once it is in there. So from that perspective very happy with the end result although the process took longer than I liked.

This was so easy to use. I’d just dropped a heavy coaster on my new coffee table and was pretty ticked. A carpenter recommended this to me. I guessed on the color and it was right on. It worked so well I can’t even really tell where the damage was! This would be great for minor dings in your cabinets, on your hardwood floors, and furniture. It comes in a whole variety of colors. Saved my brand new table, I’m super happy with it.

If you're looking for problems this won't be 100% effective (I can be this way) but if you want your scratches to disappear to everybody else but you, this is a great solution. It blends them in but obviously the sheen is slightly different. I tend to obsess and look for the scratches, but once you stop doing that you'll realize nobody else will see them. Gives back the sense of uniformity to a scratched surface.
