What is it?

The 3-in-1 Repair Stick is a tool that is designed to make wood touch ups and repairs quick and simple. One side of the tool has a leveler cap, which is used to remove excess material. Under the leveler cap is the semi-soft wax filler stick (Fil-Stik). The Fil-Stik can be used to fill in any nicks or scratches. On the other side is a wood stain and finish marker that can be used to color edges and scratches.

Our 3-in-1 Repair Stick comes in 15 colors.

Tips

  • Before using, make sure that you shake the Repair Stick to mix the paint stain in the marker. This will ensure smooth and even application of the paint to your furniture.
  • You can check the paint flow by pressing the tip of the marker onto a rag. You will know your marker is ready for repairs when you see the paint on the nib.
  • Nothing is worse than trying to repair an impefection, only to have your repair be noticeable. To avoid this, be sure to test your color in a discreet area.
  • If you have small nail holes and scratches, don't start looking for your spackle and paint! The Repair Stick is perfect for quick fills.
  • Be sure to use your finger to blend the color into the surface. Using your finger will give you better control over the appearance of your repair and help you soften the edges.
  • You can blend more than one repair stick to perfectly match the color of your furniture. Did you know that our black and brown sticks match IKEA® Black-Brown furniture?
