How do you use furniture crayons?

Furniture crayons are used to fix scratches and imperfections in furniture.

Based on the provided YouTube reference, here's a breakdown of how to use them:

Steps for Using Furniture Crayons

Select the Right Color: Choose a crayon that closely matches the color of your furniture. You may need to blend colors if a perfect match is not available, as indicated in the video clip at 0:36 seconds where they suggest going from one color to a different color, possibly red later on.
Apply the Crayon: Gently rub the crayon over the scratch or damaged area. The goal is to fill the scratch with the crayon's waxy material.
Add Heat (Optional): In some cases, as shown in the video at 0:40 seconds, you might use a heat source (like a hair dryer) to slightly melt the crayon. This can help it blend better into the surrounding surface.
Blend and Wipe: Once the scratch is filled, use a soft cloth to gently blend the crayon into the surrounding area. Wipe away any excess crayon. You may need to use light, circular motions to achieve an even result.
Layer if Needed: Apply additional layers of the crayon if necessary for deeper scratches, adding heat each time to help each layer melt together.

Clean the Area: Before applying the crayon, clean the damaged area with a dry, soft cloth. This removes any dirt or debris that could interfere with the crayon's adhesion.
Light Touch: Use a light touch when applying the crayon. You can always add more, but removing excess can be tricky.
Practice: It's a good idea to test the crayon on an inconspicuous area of the furniture first to get a feel for the color and how it blends.
Consider Color Blending: You can also layer different colored furniture crayons for more intricate or detailed color blending, starting with a darker base color and adding lighter shades to match the surrounding wood (0:36).
