Problems solved by technology

While wood is one of the primary materials utilized for the construction of articles, wood suffers from the drawback of being prone to scratching, dents and other physical impairments.

Similarly, in the construction of wood articles, nail holes, dowel holes, and other manufacturing techniques can, on occasion, mar the surface of the wooden article.

Since many wooden articles are waxed or stained to apply color in addition to that found in the natural wood pigmentation, damage, whether intentional or unintentional to the wooden surface, can remove at least a portion of the stain and / or wax coloration.

Of course, the scratch or damage is often readily apparent to the observer.

Unfortunately, these products do not provide several important features, such as (i) ease of color blending, or color blending at all; (ii) ease of workability (i.e. special equipment such as heaters may be required); or (iii) ease of color correction, for example, stains cannot be conveniently removed after application.
