Overview
Morrells Wax Filler Sticks have been specifically formulated to repair small imperfections that may only become visible after the first coat of lacquer or varnish has been applied. However, they can also be used successfully prior to the first coat of lacquer or varnish being applied, filling nail holes and smaller cracks and splits.
Each pack contains 2 wax filler sticks, measuring approximately 6cm x 2.5cm x 1.5cm.
- For larger areas of damage, or where a more durable repair is required, consider Morrells Two-Part Coloured Wood Fillers
Preparation
Ensure that areas to be filled with Morrells Wax Filler Sticks are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and any other surface contaminants. If possible, roughen or scratch the inside of the area to be filled so that the wax has a better key to adhere to.
Application
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess performance and end result. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the pack at all times.
There are 2 main ways that wax filler sticks can be softened / melted so that they can be used to fill the damaged area. Before handling the filler stick, ensure that hands are clean and dry, as wax sticks easily pick up any dirt on the hands and this may discolour the wax.
Method 1
- Scrape off slithers of wax with a filler knife or other sharp-edged object
- Push wax into the hole or damaged area to be filled with a plastic scraper or card
- Warm with a hair dryer so that the wax softens and sinks into the repair area
- Scrape off any excess from the surface or the surrounding areas with a plastic scraper, taking care not to damage the wood or finish around the repair area
Please Note: If heating the wax in situ of the repair with a hair dryer, take care to ensure that the hair dryer isn't set too hot or used too close to the surface that it damages, melts or burns the wood or the wood finish around the repair area.
Method 2
- Using an old mug, bowl or other heat-proof container, cut off the required amount of Wax Filler Stick with a filler knife, and place into a container
- Put the container into a saucepan of hot water to melt the wax
- Apply the melted wax to the repair area with plastic scraper taking care not to damage the wood or finish around the repair area
Whichever method you choose, ensure that excess amounts of wax are removed and the surface is left smooth and flat. 320 grit paper can be used for this process.
Finishing
Once Morrells Wax Filler Sticks have dried, an appropriate wood stain, such as Morrells Light Fast Wood Stain, a Morrells wood lacquer or other suitable lacquer or varnish can then be applied.
Aftercare
If more holes, crack or splits appear over time, simply apply more wax following the Preparation and Application instructions above.
