{"title":"Minwax Blend-Fil Pencils","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"collection-intro\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinwax Blend-Fil Pencils are paraffin wax touch-up pencils for shallow scratches and nail holes in wood that is already stained and finished. Minwax formulates each pencil color to match its Wood Finish stains, and the colors can be mixed for an in-between shade. Work the pencil into the scratch, wipe off the extra with a rag, and the repair is ready right away. Minwax lists them for furniture, antiques, woodwork, molding, cabinets, doors, paneling and accessories. We carry 6 of the colors.
