Product Description

Nicks, marks, scratches, the inevitable results of living with wooden furniture. But you don't have to strip and refinish when the damage is minimal. Get out your handy touch up kit and dab the pen along the mark. There are three colors so you'll be able to get a very convincing match easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product - Still After All of These Years, September 25, 2007

I am so glad to have found that this item is still for sale. I had been using it on my old "engraved" bedroom set for years and when we moved and bought "real" furniture, I needed it again for the bumps, etc. that occurred in the moving plus on the new houses cabinets. My old Guardsman set was dried out -- one of the pens still worked a little but the set is around 25 to 30 years old now. It is amazing that I put in "Guardsman Furniture Touch-Ups" (oops) and furniture touch up yesterday on the website and NOTHING came up. I kept getting book titles, etc. All of a sudden today it comes up and other similar products, too where none existed before. WEIRD.

You start by marking with the lightest color pen (thank goodness they now use different color lids on each pen), and wipe the excess with a cloth, then try the next darker, etc. Works great and my old set always looked so much better after a treatment. You could never tell that I had touched it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Touch up pens! Works Extremely well!, August 13, 2008

By

I've had the same pens for 3 years. I collect reproductions of vintage aviation/mission style furniture, and most of that comes in the form of "aged wood." That plus wear and tear creates little cosmetics blemishes in wood, especially if it's laminated wood (meaning it's made to look real, but underneath it's rubberwood or chipboard). Start with the lightest pen, and mark generously to fill in the light spots. THE KEY IS TO IMMEDIATELY RUB AWAY THE EXCESS marker, meaning anything that is outside of the blemish. If you don't, it may dry and leave an ink like blotch. If have used these on so many types of finishes, and if done correctly, you won't be able to tell where the blemish was.

I've even found that using the darkest pen adds a bit of a natural "pit" or "stripe" in a lighter wood when used correctly.

Practice on an unseen part first until you get used to it, but quickly you become amazed at its touch up abilities. Words also on wooden picture frames
