Step-by-step

Step 1
Once you've selected the repair wax kit that best matches the colour of your shelves, scrape off a small piece of wax using the plastic spatula provided.

Step 2
The wax is soft enough to be rolled into a little ball.

Step 3
Place a small ball of wax into each of the holes in your shelves.

Step 4
Press down firmly so that the wax is pressed right into the hole.

Step 5
Remove any excess wax using the plastic spatula.

Step 6
