Great Product - Still After All of These Years
By A2KX7C5O86E58 on 2007-09-25
I am so glad to have found that this item is still for sale. I had been using it on my old "engraved" bedroom set for years and when we moved and bought "real" furniture, I needed it again for the bumps, etc. that occurred in the moving plus on the new houses cabinets. My old Guardsman set was dried out -- one of the pens still worked a little but the set is around 25 to 30 years old now. It is amazing that I put in "Guardsman Furniture Touch-Ups" (oops) and furniture touch up yesterday on the website and NOTHING came up. I kept getting book titles, etc. All of a sudden today it comes up and other similar products, too where none existed before. WEIRD.
You start by marking with the lightest color pen (thank goodness they now use different color lids on each pen), and wipe the excess with a cloth, then try the next darker, etc. Works great and my old set always looked so much better after a treatment. You could never tell that I had touched it up.
Awesome Touch up pens! Works Extremely well!

I've had the same pens for 3 years. I collect reproductions of vintage aviation/mission style furniture, and most of that comes in the form of "aged wood." That plus wear and tear creates little cosmetics blemishes in wood, especially if it's laminated wood (meaning it's made to look real, but underneath it's rubberwood or chipboard). Start with the lightest pen, and mark generously to fill in the light spots. THE KEY IS TO IMMEDIATELY RUB AWAY THE EXCESS marker, meaning anything that is outside of the blemish. If you don't, it may dry and leave an ink like blotch. If have used these on so many types of finishes, and if done correctly, you won't be able to tell where the blemish was.
I've even found that using the darkest pen adds a bit of a natural "pit" or "stripe" in a lighter wood when used correctly.
Practice on an unseen part first until you get used to it, but quickly you become amazed at its touch up abilities. Words also on wooden picture frames
Exactly what I needed
By A1KTSZIC13DA4M on 2008-06-18
These were a great price, arrived quickly and did exactly what they were supposed to do. Unless you look close you can't notice the difference and I'm very please I was able to repair my desk.
Scratch covered

Either if you have kids or pets you will love this item, it is easy to use, neat and will cover any scratch done by pet, toddler or move you have made and damage your furniture. I recommend it a lot!
Refreshes furniture after kids, pets, bumps, nicks, scratches...
By A29VFXTXR6NVEH on 2008-08-28
When I saw this inexpensive set of "markers", I was a bit skeptical about how well they could work. After all, furniture is a big investment. But between two dogs, two teenagers and interstate moves, our furniture has some bumps and bruises and was in need of touch up, so I purchased. At home, I was careful to follow the directions (testing in an inconspicuous place, start with lightest color pen...) Afterward, I was *VERY* pleased with the results. It was actually a bit fun! Almost like using a magic wand. I went all through the house and fixed every scratch, dent and nick I could find! I'm going to store away a second set of these just in case they are discontinued. As others mentioned, be sure to wipe away the excess marker "ink" right away. Follow directions and you won't be disappointed. Great little gadget!
