FAQs
What is the best wood filler for outdoor use?
For exterior projects, opt for an exterior wood filler that is designed to withstand the elements. These fillers are often water-resistant and offer a durable finish that won’t shrink or crack, even in harsh conditions.
Can I use wood filler on wooden floors?
Yes, wood floor filler is perfect for filling gaps and cracks in wooden flooring. It’s available in various shades to match different wood types and can be sanded smooth for an even finish.
How do I apply oak wood filler?
To use oak wood filler, ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply the filler with a putty knife, pressing it into the gap or crack. Once dry, sand the area smooth and finish with a matching stain or varnish to blend it seamlessly with the surrounding wood.
What is a two-part wood filler?
A two-part wood filler combines a filler paste and a hardener. This type of filler is highly durable and sets quickly, making it ideal for large repairs and areas that require a strong, structural bond.
Can I paint over wood filler?
Yes, once the wood filler is fully dry and sanded smooth, it can be painted, stained, or varnished to match the rest of the wood surface. This makes it ideal for achieving a flawless finish on both interior and exterior woodwork.
Is there a difference between wood filler and wood putty?
Yes, wood filler is typically used for unfinished wood and can be sanded and stained, while wood putty is often used for finished wood and is more flexible but cannot be sanded or stained.
Which wood filler should I use for deep holes?
For deep holes and extensive damage, choose a resin wood filler or a two-part wood filler with a hardener. These provide extra strength and are ideal for structural repairs.
How do I choose the right colour wood filler?
Select a wood filler that matches the natural shade of your wood. If you're unsure, you can mix different shades or choose a wood filler that can be stained to achieve the perfect match.
