my favorite things

2005-12-03
The Tibet Almond Stick is something more than just a furniture and woodword touch-up, it's a borderline miracle. I've used it to 'disappear'
surface and finish scrathes on older furniture, door mouldings and chair rails, even my Steinert grand piano. I woulnd't use it on an heirloom
Boston highboy, but then, I don't have one. The 'Stick' is a soft of wick-like material full of some petroleum product that somehow, easily restores superficial finish damage in a flash. (Not to mention that it comes in a beautiful period tin that keeps it viable, literally, for years.) Get one, and you'll be walking around the house for hours touching up your 'shabby-chic' furniture and tired woodwork. A favorite thing!

Wonder product

I really have no idea how it works but it works miraculously!
I tried it on dark brown wood and on black lacquered wood. It removed the scratches from both surfaces in an instant. It leaves the polished spot slightly shinier than the rest, however that can quickly be solved with oiling the entire surface ( I use Old English oil)

Not good for dark wood

I thought after reading the reviews that this would be a miracle fix for my desk. It is dark wood and this only made the scratch a shade darker than the original scratch color. The scratch still stands out.

Bamboo floor scratch remover

2008-04-16
I tried several things to mask the white streaks that were appearing in my bamboo floors. I had about given up when I read about Tibet Almond Stick. While it didn't make the scratch totally disappear, it masked the white color and its real difficult now to see the scratch. I'm a satisfied buyer. Only problem: shipping cost more than the product! :-(

Helpful, but not a miracle

I imagined this would be like a large chapstick, but it's really tightly wound cloth wrapped in paper and saturated in an oily substance. Maybe it can remove the most superficial of scratches, but if the scratch has any depth to it at all, it will still be visible from certain angles. We bought this to remove cat scratches from our dining room table. The product has definitely made the scratches less visible and given the wood a nice, well-conditioned sheen. But like I say, the scratches are still there -- you just don't notice them as much. The only thing that truly "removes" a scratch, I'm afraid, is sanding and refinishing.

The magic scratch remover!

This stuff is too good!
When my mother passed 2 years ago she handed down, not only the antique furniture but, a worn out cotton roll of Tibet Almond Stick.
Ah, this must have the miracle rub that kept the wood respectable through two boys and 3 cats. But the real miracle was the fact that one stick had lasted her since the late 1960's when she had inherited the old virgin mahogany, still used today.
With a reputation like that, I'm surprised there still in business!
It's a must-have for all your wood needs!
