Wood Repair Markers Kit

For this price this repair kit is awesome! I’m obsessed, now I want to fix every scratch I find on my wood furniture around the house. Bold nice colors, good variety. Unfortunately Amazon didn’t let me upload the pictures before/after, but I really like it, the results are amazing. Recommend. If you add too much of a product, you can remove with nail polish remover. And it is important to wipe the excess immediately after applying, the product comes with a soft polishing cloth specifically for that.

Great when you find scratches on your furniture. Works well and easily.

Fine. Does what it’s supposed to do mostly. Not quite the perfect match for any of the wood in my house. Still obvious when not far away

These markers and crayons are amazing, and saved us hundreds of dollars, and hours of work!! We were having a garage sale, and a mattress was brought over to be sold. It was placed on the floor in my living room, which immediately became a trampoline for my daughter and niece. Unfortunately, the mattress had large industrial type staples in the bottom that dig into my wood flooring with each and every jump. Plus, as they jumped, the mattress scooted, causing long, horrid scratches that could be seen across the room. In order to replace the 2 planks that were scratched, we would have to rip up half the floor, and likely having to replace most of the planks. While searching for another option, I came across several wood markers, and after researching them, and reading reviews, I decided to give the Katzco ones a try. SO GLAD I DID!!!!! I no longer have to be embarrassed of the white scratches and craters in my cherry walnut colored floors, and my husband no longer has to hear my complain endlessly about it (these may have saved my marriage, who knows???) The markers are clearly marked for their color, with caps to match, and the crayons are very realistic to the colors they say they are. Since our flooring is variated in colors, we actually used 2 different crayons and markers. The entire process was easy peasy! The wax is pretty thick, and did a great job filling in the cracks. The larger cracks/craters didn’t fill up 100%, but just with the wax, already looked a hundred times better. The markers were very easy to use. They are slanted, and the tip is perfect for thinner cracks. We just traced the cracks and then rubbed off any additional paint with a shop towel. A few of the deeper cracks took a couple of passes with the marker. It took less than 5 minutes to take my floor from UGH back to GORGEOUS! So glad to have found these, next is our dresser and nightstands. (I didn’t think to take pics until we were almost done with the floor.)

I can never really get a close enough match even with the whole set

This product not only repairs nicks and scratches in wood and laminated products but is excellent for hiding the light exposed edge of veneers. This can dramatically improve the look of inexpensive laminated/veneered shelving, etc. I love these markers! Some Thoughts -- These are really juicy markers - pretty wet compared to conventional markers. There's a lot of stain in each one so you get good mileage out of each. This really offsets the whole issue of price vs not using all the colors. Also, the covers have a really positive snap fit - you have to push hard to click them closed but that should seal these up and keep them moist for a long time. Double check when you are done. The stain works best on unfinished/exposed wood (like the bottom of a scratch). Even fairly large unfinished areas take the stain uniformly without obvious striping from adjacent marker strokes. However, finished or non-absorbent surfaces are a little more problematic and are where quick smudging/blending with your thumb to feather the stain comes in. Veneer Edges -- For dressing the edge of finishing veneers on corners, hold the broad side of the marker at a 45 degree angle to the two corner faces and leaning forward a bit and just swipe the length of the edge lightly. There will be minimum contact to either of the two faces adjacent to the corner and very little if any color feathering required. Removing Excess Stain -- For hiding surface scratches the idea is to color the scratch but not the surrounding finished surface. This is virtually impossible considering the width of the marker tip, but it's pretty easy to remove the excess stain since it turns out the marker stain is alcohol-soluble. I use Zeiss Lens Cleaning Wipes (available on Amazon). They are soaked in alcohol, are lint-free, and have a relatively hard surface that does not easily deform into scratches/nicks when wiping. They only stay moist for a couple of minutes, but that's workable. So - use the marker to make the color repair, then rub the alcohol wipe lightly over the repaired area to remove the excess surface stain but leave the stain in the scratch which is below the surface. Wipe perpendicular to the scratch (cross-ways not long-ways) so the wipe will tend to skip over the stain in the scratch. Don't press down since that will push the wipe into the damaged area and remove the stain that you want to keep. Done. Since the wipes remove the stain easily, even botched color matches, etc are easy to clean up for another try. The alcohol wipes work great on laminates but use care on unwaxed wood surfaces since alcohol can remove existing stain. Anyhow - the photos show a quickie 2 minute repair to a badly scratched laminated desktop using the lens wipe technique. This nasty scratch has been there for years and is now virtually invisible. Amazing results!

Different colors, easy to use. Highly recommended for repair tables and doors

Only problem I have had is that they empty fast. Very smart and revolutionary idea

窓の近くの床が長年の雨によってカビだらけで無惨な姿でしたが見事に復活しました。

En los muebles del año del caldo de mi madre hubo que agarrarle la maña porque tiene un degradado de obscuro a más claro, así que hay que usar varios tonos para medio disimular. En los muebles de tonos más consistentes, funcionó bien, ya no llama tanto la atención las ralladuras.

This repair kit worked exactly as I expected it would. I used these to repair the housing on some high end tower speakers. There were some glaring blemishes on them. After using these, you can’t tell they were ever damaged unless you look very closely and know where to look. Matching the color to the best of your ability will give you the best results. I used paper to feel out the colors, and used the closest match. You can also blend the colors pretty effectively. This kit gives you a lot of options to mix and match. With a little work, you’ll be very happy with your results.
