Repair Crayons are designed for filling fine splits, small
holes and small gouges in wood furniture. Doing a repair
with crayons is quite simple because the wax is reasonably
soft, all you have to do is push in a downward direction and
rub the crayon over the damaged or split area until the wax
becomes level. Once the wax is level clean any excess off
with soft non abrasive cloth.

Sticks are another option for repairs to wood furniture and
are more suitable for filling large splits, cracks and are
ideal for damage to edges of furniture where they can be
molded to shape.
Handy Tip: Beeswax
sticks are a very hard wax and because they are are so hard
you'll need to be warm them up to to make them pliable and
easier to use. When the wax stick is heated it becomes a lot
softer and you'll be able to cut or break off a piece of the
stick and mold to the shape you require for the repair. Make
sure the filling or shaping is done as quickly as possible
because once the beeswax stick cools down it becomes very
hard again.
