- I just received a copy of Woodworkers Supply Finishing catalog (or something
- like that). The info it contains is about 80% finishes and the like. They
- have a colored-stick-wax thingy that you heat up and drip over the damaged
- area and let cool, you then heat up a special tool again and scrape off the
- excess. Lots of colors, I'd never seen this stuff before although it's
- probably been around for awhile. My mother-in-law has some Ethan Allen
- furniture that was damaged during a move and I've been wondering if this
- would be a good application....basic wood fillers just won't do..
- This "system" of wood repair has a proper name but I don't have the catalog
- with me..
