The fillers from this wax-based Varathane "pencil" blended beautifully into screwholes that remained in the aftermath of my furniture-making project (a new writing table). Hint: If the hole you want to fill (and match to the existing varnished surface) is more than a half-inch deep and wide, consider warming it with a hairdryer to soften the wax before pressing it into place and scraping away the excess. It worked beautifully. Perhaps the illustration shows how it blended into the PINE border which I stained in RED OAK and filled with LIGHT CHERRY varathane pencil. If you don't know what color to pick, "Light Cherry" blends with almost all red-toned woods and any of the "Oak" tones will match the yellow-toned woods. Best wishes and x from Danforth
