for sure i made a mess of a wainscoting (chair-rail) project that i filled my indented nails with light color putty, then sanded before staining a light color. darned if the puttied nails stuck out like a sore thumb, and even though i sanded beforehand so aggressively i got sick from wood dust inhalation there was wood putty residue discoloration one inch around each nail! what a bummer. it seems that my min wax couldn't take a stain one little bit- at least a light-colored stain. my mom says it looks rustic and is pleased. but i'll never do another chair-rail unless i'm painting it dark... i'm shamed and am through with staining 😞 in fact if i do one again i'm using structural calk and a minimum of nails by golly!
How can someone remove non-hardening wood putty from wood? I mistakenly applied minmax non-hardening wood putty to unfinish-wood. It wasn't until a few days later when I checked the putty and found it had not hardened/dried. Any advice would be most appreciated!!!
Thank you, but how do you repair and match real bamboo flooring when they have dings or dents in them? Bamboo flooring has these light to dark brown striations.
Compressions can be ironed out with a clean damp cotton cloth, try that first, Mohawk makes filler sticks that are colored that may work for any thing else just keep blending.
Thanks for sharing brotha. What filler would u recommend for a Caribbean mahogany? It don't have a stain or nothing. Just its natural color ,that gorgeous reddish brownish purple-ish color. Im not a big wood restorer lol or nothing of the sort so it would need to be something i can buy to use, as opposed to making myself. And its just 2 little spots both smaller than an inch. Really just little chunks in the wood and theyre bothering the hell outta me. Please & Thanks in advance.
@@nicoleramirez1491 I figured it out by myself tho, it was really easy to work with! I just used my finger to work it into the area I needed it and it dried down beautifully!
@@carsonclark3140absolutely not. Putty’s don’t dry hard they’re used after finish is applied. Filler is used before finish and dries hard so is sandable
Thank you mate. Straight to the point, unlike some other videos.

That sawdust + glue tip was a good one! Thank you man
How can I keep my wood filler from drying out?
Sawdust and wood glue works just as well.. and it's usually free if you're a woodworker
This is a video about wood filler.
Wood putty and wood filler are not the same thing.

Leave it exposed to the sun for about a week.

@@TMBRMANTV ..thanks!
I'm making table end legs into bonsai root stand table. Can I use wood putty to add it on the legs to make it into a bonsai root?
I think it would be too soft. Tbh. It has no structural integrity.
did I miss the part where you used the non hardening wood putty that was shown in the cover photo? 😭😭😭 filler ≠ putty
Same 😂😭

I used this by mistake instead of wood filler to fill a hole outdoors. It did harden ... eventually lol😊
Thanks you
