Minwax Stain Marker by Minwax

I love this stain marker, it has made my IKEA brown/black furniture come up like new. At first the touched up areas was really visible but then the stain seeps into the wood until you barely notice where it had been applied in the first place. I have even brought two used pieces of IKEA epedit furniture (now discontinued) that were so heavily scarred, I thought I might actually need to buy the tin of stain in this product range. But honestly I wound up just using this pen and the finish has come up brilliant in both units. Excellent product.

I highly recommend this product. Heat removed the color from my table and this fixed it perfectly. I will put a little polish on the spot when it’s dry.

I really like this stain I bought a pair of Swedish has been clogs and they came a little scuffed up because they were used but I purchased this pen with the intention of staining the wood on the clogs and now they look so great! One thing to note is that this does take a bit to dry so don’t try to pick up the item otherwise stay in my transfer to objects you don’t want to have stained. That being said if you do have some I’ll get it on something else is pretty easy to remove the stain before it dries. I love this pen is so easy to use and it’s so much better than having a can of stain!

I have some old (20+ to 30+ years) Solingen steel full tang knives with black wood handles. With proper care the blades will outlive me, but the handles were fading, especially compared to my newer knives with ABS handles.* I used this pen to re-stain the handles. (I did one side at a time, with touch ups at the end.) I then rubbed in a coat of polyurethane finishing oil to seal them. I won't claim they look like new, but they look quite a bit better. With more effort I probably could have gotten an even better result, but my goal wasn't to pass my working knives off as new. This pen was just what I needed. There was far less mess and cleanup than there would have been with a can of stain. It's just right for small jobs. * While there might be some snob appeal to wood handles, for me ABS is the way to go. It's not only very durable, it is impervious to bacteria and viruses. And how often does someone look closely at the handles of your kitchen knives?

Worked well. I had to go back and wipe with a clean cloth.
