Picobello G61403 Premium Wood Repair Kit (Ideal for Parquet and Laminate Flooring, Furniture, Stairways and Varnished Surfaces)

Ok...so its still early days regarding the repair (1 week) but wow what a difference. I used it on my hand scraped oak floor which had some light...ish scratches. Step 1 was to throw away the instructions which are in german anyway. Step 2 was to work out which way to put in the batteries (wish I had kept those instructions!). I watched a utube repair video but decided that was too much work. Step 3 I started by putting some grain highlights in first...then filling in the rest of the colour. Step 4...I used the plastic scraper to get it flat. Step 5....slapped on some sealer (supplied) and after a cuppa I buffed it with the abrasive cloth hidden in the handle of the scraper! That was pretty much it...if you have large damage then maybe follow the instructions to the letter but on a hand scraped floor it's kind of a little rustic anyway so no big deal.The colours didn't look like a great match in the box but once on they were OK actually...if you are smart I reckon you could add another colour to change the base wax slightly. The red, yellow and green didn't make much sense until I read that you can also also repair ceramic tiles :-)Update...still very happy....still repairing scratches with ease and they seem so far to stay repaired too which is always a worry with these kinds of kits

Takes a fair amount of practice to match colours - but with patience this can give you a near invisible result

Having actually used this now I can confirm that this is brilliant! I had to fix some terrible marks and its done a great job. Needs a steady hand and a keen eye though, don't expect to slap this down in 5 mins. The pen knife heats on a battery and the material slides off and onto the knife easily, way easier than I was expecting - no mess.My only gripe really is that the batteries don't last long enough and rather than running out just fail to heat the knife as much as they did at the start.Wish they could have created a simple charging mechanism.. even just a standard phone cable charger so i didnt have to keep using up batteries!! on a big job it can be a pain.However, regardless, this kit is excellent and if you search for their company name in youtube there are some great tutorials because the documentation wasny in English... (videos are way better anyway)

After dropping a plate onto a laminate floor and witnessing the damage done (two nice chunks out - about 3mm wide by 40mm long nicely matching the edge of the plate as it shattered :-() I decided to give this a try as i could not make it any worse.Long story short i am very happy with the results.From my experience (oak laminate) do practice with it (there is plenty of wax filler), i found it best to fill the hole with the lightest colour and then introduce small drops of the darker ones, but each time making sure you melt all of the wax. i finished of by putting a few very faint dots in with a black biro to match the grain on the laminate. Is it 100% perfect, no, but unless you know where to look and catch it in the right light you cannot see it.

I found it quite fiddly to do, i think the blade on it is left handed. That said i fixed the huge dent i made in the floor with good results.

It is easy to use with some practice

If you have basic DIY skill you can handle German - but still you have picture step by step - great staff can match all color, free battery, all working really well!!

thank you.
