Once set, the wax can be buffed to a fine finish and coated with most materials. The manufacturer says the colours can be blended, and leftover wax can be melted down and reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndoors: filling nail holes, gaps, joins and cracks in furniture, cabinetry, frames and other timber items.\u003cbr\u003eOutdoors: the manufacturer does not publish outdoor performance data for this product, so it is best treated as a timber repair filler for interior and finished-furniture work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for most wood surfaces, in both soft and hard woods. It is aimed at damage wider or deeper than about 1mm. Very fine scratches and surface blemishes are better treated with a wax product made for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart with a clean, dry surface and apply the filler to raw timber before any oil, wax or lacquer finish. Pick the stick closest to the timber, or melt two colours together to blend a custom match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoften the wax with a soldering iron, a hot knife, or gentle heat from a heat gun or hairdryer. Take care, because extra heat can affect the surrounding finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can also soften a stick briefly in a microwave. Test in very short bursts, as it only needs to become malleable. Press the softened wax into the gap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor larger repairs, chip off the amount you need and melt it into the gap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce the wax has firmed up again, scrape off the excess with a plastic spatula or an old card, then buff to a smooth finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wax firms up quickly after application, typically within about 10 to 30 minutes depending on conditions. Rubbing a cold stick over a gap like a crayon works, but adhesion is better when the wax has been melted. Beeswax can ignite when overheated, so the manufacturer advises caution and says not to apply an open flame directly to the sticks. The product may contain traces of bee pollen and soy. If you plan to use it on a surface that will touch food, check suitability with the manufacturer first, as the coloured sticks are pigmented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGilly's Australia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeeswax Filler Sticks, Assorted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 sticks, 15g each (about 90g in total)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStick size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 83mm long x 15mm diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePale brown (natural), orange\/brown, mid brown, red\/brown, dark brown, black (one of each)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeeswax with natural pigments and natural hardener\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand applied; melt or soften the wax, press into the gap, then scrape back and buff\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirming time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 10 to 30 minutes, depending on conditions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber repair, applied before the final finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Australia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake care when heating the wax, as molten wax can burn skin and beeswax can ignite at high temperatures.
