Setup and Preparation
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the damaged area is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose particles. Use a mild cleaner if necessary, and allow the surface to dry completely.
- Select the Correct Color: Choose a Fil-Stik color that closely matches the surface to be repaired. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective application of the Mohawk Fil-Stik:
- Apply the Fil-Stik: Firmly rub the Fil-Stik across the scratch, gouge, or abrasion. Apply enough pressure to fill the damaged area completely. For deeper damage, apply multiple layers.
- Remove Excess: Immediately after filling the damage, use a plastic scraper, a credit card edge, or a clean, soft cloth to carefully wipe off any excess Fil-Stik from the surrounding undamaged surface. Wipe in the direction of the grain if applicable.
- Buff (Optional): For a smoother finish, gently buff the repaired area with a clean, lint-free cloth.
- Topcoat (Optional): If desired, the repaired area can be topcoated immediately with compatible finishes such as Tone Finish® aerosols or other clear coatings to provide additional protection and blend the repair.
Note: No heat or special tools are required for application. The Fil-Stik is designed for simple, direct use.
Maintenance and Storage
- Cleaning: The Fil-Stik itself does not require cleaning. Keep the tip free of debris for optimal application.
- Storage: Store the Fil-Stik in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the protective cap on (if applicable) to prevent drying or contamination.
