Q. Can a limed effect be achieved with Brummer?
A. This effect may be achieved with White or Standard Brummer Yellow Interior Wood Filler thinned with water to a creamy paste and applied with a cloth across the wood grain, such that only the grain retains the filler paste. Once dry, the filler may be finished as desired.

Q. My antique furniture has woodworm holes. How can I fill the holes?
A. First you need to deal with the woodworm itself. Then apply the appropriate shade of Brummer Wood Filler Sticks or Briwax Wax Filer Stick to the holes. This is done by shaving a small piece from the stick, soften this piece with your fingers and finally apply to the hole with a putty knife. Level off the filler with the knife and finally buff away any excess with a clean soft cloth.
Q. My new table top has been damaged. How can I repair it?
A. Brummer can be used to effect minor repairs to a finished surface, provided care is used not to further damage the existing finish. After that it is possible to apply varnish etc. over the dried filler, taking care to check the final appearance of the repair.
Q. How do I colour match grain?
A. Brummer fillers are available in an extensive range of colours, however in practice it is unlikely an exact match will be achieved. It is possible to mix different shades of Brummer filers from the same range, but to get an exact match requires experimentation. In order to facilitate any colour matching, stand closed tins of filler in warm water for a few minutes to soften and render them more pliable first.
