Broken Corner: Rex-Lith
 Before and After |
Tools needed: |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| 1. Rex-Lith is the hardest fill material available. It is best used for major damage including broken corners, edges and LARGE gouges. It comes in three different colors: white, wood and clear. You can also mix in the Color Touch-up to achieve the proper base color match. First, prepare the damage using a small chisel. |
2. Place one line of Rex-lith onto a palete. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| 3. Add a maximum of 5 drops of Color Touch-up or 3 drops of Touch-up Dye to every 1/2 inch of Rex-lith. |
4. Mix the color into the Rex-Lith. Make sure to achieve the right color before adding the hardener. Rapidly fold (Do not stir) in the hardener crosswise on a smooth, non-absorbing surface. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| 5. When the desired color is reached, add the same length of hardener to the Rex-Lith and fold together. |
6. Firmly press small portions of the filling compound into the damage area, using the blending spatula, until it is completely filled. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| 7. Lay the Plastic Film over the top of the filled area. |
8. Flatten with the Special Applicator. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| 9. When the compound begins to harden (rubbery) carefully remove the Plastic Film and cut away excess material using a broad chisel. |
10. Use the Metal Planer to finish the leveling process and then clean the surface with Liquid Sandpaper. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| 11. Remove debris using a Cotton Cloth, a felt block and Liquid Sandpaper. |
12. You may fill any voids using a Soft Wax stick. Remove excess wax with the Special Applicator. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| 13. Use Color Touch-up to add or restore grain lines. |
14. Finish the repair by adding an appropriate Shade Equalizer to match the surrounding area. |
|
|
|
 |
|
| The repair is now complete. | |
