ColorTone Touchup Markers

The markers work great on small area touch ups. I decided to try the baking soda/superglue filler for the first time. It worked fine, but it does not take the marker color very well, on about fourth application and white still shows. I know Dan's tip was to mix a colored dry dye, I think with this method that's necessary.But pens work super!

while easy to use, I would have prefered the liquid to be a bit thicker in order to build up a coating. however for minor scraches it works pretty good.

These are amazing!! If you work on guitars at all.....these touchup markers are well worth the investment. I use them all the time and they really do the job. Super easy to work with and give tremendous results. THE BEST!!!!!

I used this touchup marker on an explorer I stained cherry red that got a scratch/partial gouge in the finish.This touchup marker works very well and even after I clear coated over it it held up.Looks beautiful.It is a felt tip and does not over saturate.You will not be disappointed and less work to use than repainting entirely.Thank you stewartmac!! fast shipping and great products!! Never disappointed!!

Howdy folks,
I'm totally pleased with the results of the Vintage Amber marker. I've used on a couple of vintage martins recently and it has practically erased nasty scrapes and dings on both adi and sitka tops with very different colors. the marker does not leave a persistent residue on the top either.

Cheers

I have used these pens to fill some small dents and dings on guitars. Great for when you do not need to cover a large area. In the future maybe Stewmac can put the same lacquer in nail polish type applicators.

I am a long-term, loyal Stew Mac customer and must say that this is the first time that I am competely dissatisfied with a product purchase. Simply put, these stain pens do not work as advertised and made no difference whatosver in filling minor chips on my vintage Gibson acoustic.

Simply put, the product is a waste of money.

I closed the case on my strat with the tremolo arm in he wrong position and dented the surf green finish.

I filled the dent with clear lacquer and sanded it down using the micro mesh finishing pads. Dent is now just *barely* visible.

Hints - don't use the applicator tip -- put some on a paper plate and apply with a tiny brush, Q-tip, toothpick, etc.

When sanding (with the micro mesh finishing pads) don't press down -- let the grit of the pad do the work or you'll scratch the finish and it will be harder to polish out your scratches than it is to polish the drop of lacquer.

Stewmac...your ColorTone Touchup Markers have saved the day more than a time or two. I find that the color match on the Touchup Markers is spot-on and these items have found a permanent place in my shop. Tony at The Luthiers Workshop - Green Bay, WI.

These are truly a smart thing to have in my shop!Amazing how well they can blend into a finish to hide some minor blems! Thanks
