Which Colour Wax or Retouch Cream to Use?

Post by RobM »

Morning All,

I'd like to tidy up this corner (on Lion moulding L2127 - Lichen, a green/grey colour) but find that the range of retouch creams are quite limited outside black, white and gold.

I do have an array of wax crayons for touching up, but these are generally not so pleasant to use, I find.

What would you use for something like this?

Thanks

It doesn't look too bad, maybe it does in person.
Do you normally clamp your frames after making them, as that would probably close any gap.
I would just rub a small amount of white wood filler and wipe off.
