Q: Is there a wood filler that looks like wood?

Q: Why is my wood furniture sticky after cleaning?

• <div><p>If your wood furniture is sticky after already cleaning it, it&rsquo;s likely from using too many polishes or waxes.

You can then reapply the wax or polish afterwards, but try to use a much smaller amount and wipe away any excess.</p></div>

• <div><p>Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques.
