1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: Thank you for reaching out! While not a precise match, our Espresso and Dark Walnut Varathane Classic Wood Stains are similar, and the Varathane Dark Walnut Touch-Up Marker should work to touch-up scratches in the Espresso stain. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2

Getting rid of knicks and blemishes on wood finishes.

A little runny maybe but it always does the job.

Golden Oak perfectly matched my doors

Picked the Golden Oak color up in store with little hope it would work for my doors that have seen a lot of abuse. The stain comes out easily and with a light dab covers up the dings perfectly. In the attached photo, I've touched up the left door only - it used to look as bad as the right door.

I removed a 24" Wall oven from a cabinet & had a cabinet built to replace it. I needed to fill in & touch up stain color to match the old cabinet, this actually came almost perfectly close!

Matches Well

We were skeptical, but after having a zipper get caught under a chair leg and put a deep scratch in thw floor, we tried it. The color matches well and it looks shockingly inconspicuous.

Pleasantly surprised

I didn't think that this was intended to cover large areas like you see in the picture, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I am very pleased with the result. This is the red mahogany color, but I'm sure that the other shades would give similar results.

Over the years the baseboards of our steps between the first and second floors got various small scratches. The golden oak stain was the perfect color match for this application. It was very easy to apply. Worked so well that we are going to buy another pen and tackle our kitchen cabinets (need a darker shade for the kitchen)..

This is the best touch up pen I have found. It has very strong color, penetrates the wood, and is more like a permanent marker. Other touch up pens I have used are more oil based and the color smears off right away.

This red oak stain marker was the perfect solution to covering scratches, lighter colored wear areas and rub-off spots on our old 70s vintage, "fake" woodgrain particle board cabinets. For the most part, the cabinets still looked good except for the various wear marks. I had tried other markers before, but they didn't cover well. This marker covered and blended perfectly. All the marks just disappeared. And it is so easy to apply--just like coloring with a marking pen. My cabinets look like new!

We just got a dark wood mid century chair, for the most part in pretty good condition, but did have a couple spots that needed help, I matched up the chair to as close as I could find pen at Home Depot. I am posting a before and after. The only problem I had with this pen is the dark walnut was very dark. I used it on a black cabinet as well and it did a better job at hiding that scratch than the chair. Either way, very happy with the out come, Great touch up tool.
