Oriflame Wood Furniture Repair Kit: 12-Color Filler and 8-Color Markers - Wood Touch Up for Scratches/Cracks/Holes/Stains in Floors/Table/Cabinets

A practical, all-in-one kit for everyday wood repairs

Scratches and dings have a way of accumulating—under chair legs, on cabinet corners, along a guitar body that bumped a stand one too many times. I put the Oriflame kit to work across a handful of typical household fixes: surface scratches on a walnut desk, a small chip on a stained oak cabinet door, a shallow dent in an engineered maple floorboard, and a scuff on a satin-finished guitar. The short version: this kit covers the core needs well, especially for color matching and ease of use. It’s not a stand-in for a full refinishing job, but it’s a reliable, approachable way to make common damage fade into the background.

What’s inside and how it’s organized

The kit includes 12 filler tubes (25 g each), eight touch-up markers, three small brushes, a mixing palette, a scraper, a sponge, and two pieces of sandpaper. The assortment is thoughtfully chosen:

• The fillers handle chips, shallow holes, dents, and wider scratches.
• The markers excel at hairline scratches and grain touch-ups.
• The palette makes blending shades straightforward, and the scraper speeds up leveling before you polish with the sandpaper.
• The sponge is handy for feathering edges and cleaning dust after sanding.

Everything stores easily in the box, which matters more than you think—wood touch-up is often a multi-pass process.

Workflow and ease of use

My typical sequence looked like this:

1. Clean the area. Dust and oils make repairs harder to blend and can affect adhesion.
2. Choose a filler color or blend two on the palette. I worked in small dabs until the tone matched under natural light.
3. Apply the filler slightly proud of the surface and level with the scraper. For micro-voids, a fingertip works, but the scraper keeps edges crisp.
4. Let it set, then sand lightly. I started with the coarser sheet and finished with the finer one, staying local to the repair.
5. Use markers to add grain lines or adjust the tone if needed. The markers also take care of very fine scratches on their own.
6. Wipe down with the sponge and let everything fully cure before heavy use or cleaning.

This approach produced consistent results. The learning curve is minimal if you start with an inconspicuous test area to dial in color and sheen.

Color matching: better than most kits

Color is where this kit earns its keep. Between the 12 fillers and eight markers, I was able to match light maple through medium and dark walnut without the repair flashing obvious under daylight. The fillers blend well on the palette, and mixing to nudge warmth or coolness is easy. I often used a slightly lighter base fill, then added depth with a darker marker to mimic grain lines.

A few tips that improved matches:
- Check color in natural light and from a few angles—wood shifts with lighting.
- Let fillers dry before judging; some darken slightly as they set.
- For open-grain woods like oak, simulate pores with quick, broken marker strokes, then soften with a fingertip or the sponge.

The only tones that required extra finesse were desaturated grays and ultra-red mahoganies. I still got there, but it took more mixing.

Performance on common repairs

• Desk edge scratches (walnut veneer): A couple of passes with the medium-dark fillers, a light sand, and a quick grain touch-up with the dark marker made the scratches nearly disappear. At normal working distance, they were no longer distracting.
• Cabinet corner chip (stained oak): Filling, leveling, and two quick color passes blended the repair into the panel. Under bright task light I could find it, but under ambient light it passed the “casual glance” test.
• Engineered floor dent (maple): Light fill and careful sanding got the surface flush. After 24 hours, I ran a mop over it as usual—the repair held without smearing or lifting. I’d avoid steam mops over fresh repairs, but standard cleaning didn’t degrade the patch.
• Guitar scuff (satin finish): Marker-only treatment worked well. Satin finishes are forgiving; high-gloss instruments will require more care to match sheen.

Once cured, the fillers feel firm yet slightly forgiving, good for everyday foot traffic and cabinet use. I didn’t notice any crumbling or flaking after routine cleaning.

Dry time, finish, and durability

The fillers set up quickly enough to sand within an hour for small patches. I left larger fills for 2–3 hours before final sanding. Full hardness arrived by the next day, at which point the patches tolerated mopping and light knocks. Odor was mild. The finish is a natural satin-to-matte by default; if you need high gloss, buffing and a touch of clear topcoat will help.

The markers dry fast and don’t smear once cured. They also layer well over the fillers to fine-tune color.

Tool quality and ergonomics

• The markers have firm, precise tips that hold up when you’re drawing fine grain lines. Caps seal well, which matters for longevity.
• The scraper is simple but effective. It’s stiff enough to level filler without gouging surrounding areas.
• The brushes are basic utility brushes—good for nudging filler into seams and crevices, and for cleaning dust off edges after sanding.
• The palette is a nice touch for mixing; it beats improvising with scrap plastic or cardboard.

Nothing here feels premium, but everything is functional and appropriate for the job.

Limitations and best practices

A few realities to keep in mind:

• Sheen matching: Wood finishes vary widely. This kit gets you close on color; sheen sometimes needs a separate clear coat (wax, shellac, or polyurethane) to disappear under raking light, especially on glossy surfaces.
• Deep or structural damage: If a piece is cracked through or a floorboard is splintered, you’ll need a structural fix. This kit handles cosmetic repairs, not load-bearing ones.
• Multiple passes: Larger chips and open-grain fills sometimes shrink back a hair after first cure. A second light fill solves it.
• Consistency with modern finishes: Cool-toned grays and heavily washed finishes take more mixing. Work slowly and test swatches.
• Not for food-contact surfaces: I wouldn’t use any filler or marker on cutting boards or butcher blocks.

A few habits that improved outcomes for me:
- Prep the surface well; a quick degrease makes a difference.
- Use less filler than you think, then add more. Overfilling creates more sanding work and can smear color onto surrounding areas.
- Photograph the area before starting. If you’re recreating grain, your photo helps you place lines and figure direction after sanding.

How it compares and value

I’ve used single-color wax sticks and standalone furniture markers before. They’re quick, but limited. This kit’s advantage is the breadth of colors and the ability to blend—not just with markers, but with the fillers themselves—which dramatically improves your odds of a close match. The included tools mean you don’t have to hunt for a scraper, palette, or sandpaper mid-project.

The 25 g filler tubes should last the average household a long time, especially if you cap them tightly and store the kit away from heat. For the range of issues it can handle—scratches, chips, dents, and small holes—the cost of the kit is easier to justify than buying piecemeal fixes.

Who will get the most from it

• Homeowners and renters who want to keep floors and furniture presentable without calling a pro.
• Landlords and property managers touching up between tenants.
• Musicians or hobbyists keeping instruments and stands free of distracting blemishes.
• Real estate stagers prepping rooms for showings.

If you’re a professional finisher working to factory-level gloss or doing large-area color correction, you’ll want your specialized fillers, toners, and clear coats. For everyday touch-ups, this kit is the right level of tool.

Bottom line

The Oriflame kit is a no-drama way to make wood blemishes less visible and, in many cases, effectively disappear to the casual eye. The color range and blendability are its strong points, the included tools are sensible, and the learning curve is low. It won’t replace refinishing or structural repairs, and sheen matching on high-gloss pieces may require a clear topcoat, but for the problems most of us see—scratches, chips, small dents—it delivers.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit. It strikes a smart balance of capability and simplicity, with enough colors and tools to handle most household wood repairs well. If you want a single, self-contained set that can restore floors, furniture, and cabinets to “looks good again” without fuss, this is the one to keep on the shelf.
