CalFlor FL49111CF FloorFix, Mix2Match Hardwood & Laminate Repair Kit

We had just had laminate wood flooring put into a flex room the day before we moved into our new home, and after the movers moved our furniture into that room, we noticed a foot long scratch in the middle of the floor. Although this product doesn’t make the floors like new, it did such a good job of repairing that if a person didn’t know the scratch was there, they probably wouldn’t notice.

used this to repair some damage to my wooden floorboards. If it is your first time trying, I would suggest watching a few videos online first to familiarise yourself with the use of this product. It was my first time using it, but after watching some tutorials online & testing out on some wood I had in the shed, the final work came out perfect. You can't even notice where I carried out the repairs.

Good my friend :)

I bought this for furniture repair and it does what is says; I would buy it again. If you're thinking of buying it, here are some things to consider: It's easy to use, not messy and cleans up easily. You can make pretty much any colour you want, but you have to learn how to do it by trial and error - the colours on the mixing chart provided often bear little relation to what you actually end up with. The putty remains flexible and fairly soft when set. This has advantages but I don't think it would hold up well in a place that gets a lot of wear. It also shrinks a bit as it dries and deep holes need to be topped up. One minor gripe is that whilst the mixing spatula is hard wearing plastic, the mixing board with its calibration lines is only cardboard, and the lines disappear after a few cleans. I suspect that the board itself isn't going to last long, but provided you've remembered the length of a standard squirt of putty from the tube you can mix it on any inert surface.

The color chart seemed to be of the mixed color, not the color when dry. It dries somewhat darker than the chart, but I was able to adjust the color easily. We had a large area of flooring with some bad gouges as the result of a folding chair that had lost its rubber tip. The product filled in the gouges and color match was satisfactory such that repair is invisible from several feet away. Cons - the product is water soluble and very hard to remove the excess material without pulling it out of the gouge. The solution was to let it dry for a couple of days and then slice it flush with a new razor blade, then remove the hazy excess material with a damp cloth - careful not to go over the actual repair area. The lacquer overcoat is a little different sheen as the flooring but that is to be expected; the floor pieces themselves have many different levels of shininess. Time will tell if the lacquer overcoat will stand up to washing. So far pleased with the product performance and price. Only gave 3 stars for longevity/durability as we just applied the repair. As I said, time will tell.
