How to fill holes in wood
Filling holes in wood is an every day event but done badly can be very noticeable.
There are several types of wood filler:
Hard wax blocks Wax Filler Sticks are used on bare wood to fill small holes and mitres. Soften a small piece between the thumb and fingers to produce a stiff putty before pushing into the hole with the tip of a pointer or old screwdriver. Clean off before applying finish.
Paste Wood Filler is suitable for general repairs on bare wood up to a hole size of around 6mm.
All of the above fillers can have their colour adjusted by the addition of Finney’s Powder Dry Colour pigment.
