Wood Filler




The main problem in using putty is matching the colour of the putty to that of the wood. Putties are usually Sanded after they dry before applying the finish.

Many different brands, types and colours are commercially available. Binders include Lacquer , water-base, and Linseed Oil . Some Woodworkers make their own putty using fine Sanding dust (not Sawdust which is too coarse) with Wood Glue or a wood finish such as Shellac .
