Background: I wanted to hide blemishes on “Golden Oak” stained oak wood. After correcting any colors that was either scratched off or faded from sun, water or otherwise faded. After fixing any discolored surfaces, I was changing their color from “golden oak” to “dark oak”. Our kitchen had been completely remodeled with new cabinets, entry molding & window trims installed in the late nineties. We also installed new Corian countertops, new sinks, faucets etc. Our kitchen remained in excellent condition. The oak cabinets portion of our remodel was quite expensive, well designed & this oak wood wears like iron. We had just become dissatisfied with the golden oak color as these colors seemed dated.
Now to the review of these pens which are different colors of permanent markers. The ink dries immediately. They can be of great value if any of the colors match the surface they are applied to. I had also purchased some wood color touch up pens which contain wood stain. These type color pens are made by many companies, they cost as much for one pen as this set of 6 with the colored wax.
Both types of these color pens can be the correct tool depending on intended usage. These ink types can be great if you are wishing to color a surface on which the color is faded. They hide the missing color immediately. The problem is finding a matching color. Unfortunately in this set all colors have a red hue except for black. So of the six pens in this set, I was only able to use black, i lessened the color by using 0000 steel wool and also using “Old English dark wood scratch cover. Otherwise, fortunately, I had an old set of the colored pens that had a color that matched our golden oak. I advise getting a set of these with the most colors to choose from.
If you find one matching color pen it will be worth to cost of the entire sed. As for the colored wax, your fix would be better if using wood putty that you color to match.
