  • What is wood filler versus wood putty? What are wood fill sticks? See what products we use for wood repair in our furniture repair shop so you understand when to use each of these products.
    The description on the labels of the wood filler products I use are as follows:
    - Wood patch
    - Wood filler
    - Wood putty
    - Wood repair epoxy putty
    - Fill pencil
    - Putty pencil
    - Putty stick filler
    - Wax filler stick
    - Quick fill burn-in stick
    The marketing of these products makes them very confusing to understand. Let me break these down into categories to better understand what they're used for. The first is what I call a wood filler. It's a thick, mud-like product that's used to fill holes and dents in bare wood. This is used for filling defects in woodworking that will be painted. It can also be used on wood that will be stained, but it is challenging to disguise the wood filler from being seen.
    The second category of wood fillers is a putty. By definition, a putty is something that is soft, malleable, and hardens. Wood putty is used on finished wood surfaces and is available in a variety of colors. It's intended to be worked into the defect and left to harden. Wood putty can't be sanded as it doesn't harden enough. I typically use this to fill nail holes at the edge of a hardwood floor where the last few strips of flooring must be surface nailed.
    Another type of wood putty is epoxy putty. This is a product that will dry very hard and is difficult to sand because it is so hard. The advantage of an epoxy putty is that it will hold structure, unlike other wood putty products. I use it to repair carvings or wood damage on the corner of cabinets where the putty must hold strong. It's best to shape it into the finished dimensions as it hardens to avoid excessive labor in sanding.
    The last category of wood fillers is what I describe as wax fillers. These come in different forms; pencils, crayons, soft sticks, and hard sticks. The softer wax fillers can be rubbed into the defect and buffed out. They're used on finished wood only. The hard sticks I use are burn-in sticks, used with a hot knife or soldering iron to melt the wax and blend it into the defect. I prefer burn-in sticks as I can work in multiple colors that closely match the wood grain and conceal the filled area most effectively.

    A couple of other things that I have regularly used for "filling". One is hard resin burn in sticks. These come in transparent and opaque colors and I have done 10s of thousands of them. These are useful for repairing damage such as dents or scratches on the "show surfaces" You level them and then match the sheen level. Done properly, the repair is very hard to see. But it's not an easily learned skill to get it right. It takes a little practice. I probably have 50 different colors but the most used are light and dark amber transparent sticks.
    Second is a 2-part wood filler. Common brands are Bondo and Minwax. I have used these where there is deep damage like a dog chewed a large section of molding. It sets fast and you can rough trim with a chisel or knife before it's fully set up, then finish up by sanding.
    Mohawk and Guardsman make a variety of colors of the epoxy putty sticks. Just like the wax sticks, you can blend them together. They do set up much faster and you can accelerate by heating with a hair dryer. If you are in the shop, time does not matter as much as when you are working on site and have unproductive time waiting for the epoxy to set up. I've also used them to fill in where hanger bolts have stripped out of things like sofa legs.

    Great video! I'm curious about your description of the Liberon sticks as burn-in sticks requiring a soldering iron. When I buy them at Lee Valley, the instructions say to work them with your fingers to soften them (from body heat, I presume) and apply them by hand. This has always worked for me, although I don't doubt that melting them into a defect is quick and effective too.
    A double-edged plastic "razor blade" (yes, this is a thing) is useful in working with wax sticks, as it has a bevelled edge that scrapes more easily than an old credit card or the like. They come in flexible and rigid varieties.

    Great stuff. When you fix a tiny little nick in your favorite cabinet, by filling it with wax, does the wax then harden over time?
    I kind of hate the idea that there's soft wax in those nicks, that could easily come out if you accidentally scrape it.
    Can you put some sort of finish over it, which merges with the rest of the cabinet's existing finish? And would this finish then be hard enough to protect that soft wax and keep it in place?

      @@FixingFurniture Hi. Thank you ! I just saw this video with the hard fil wax. I did not use the DAK plasticwood X putty. I had already ordered a Floor Fix by CalFlor repair kit on Amazon to use on the laminate floor gouges. The small holes in the area worked well but awaiting to see the results for the deep scratches. Mohawk Product wax stiks are confusing with all their different names. I bought the regular Fil sticks (which say heat not needed) to cover some scratches on a coffee table. They worked OK but not great. Therefore, i did not jump to order the hard fill and a soldering iron for the laminate floor. I have not been very handy around the house but I am trying to learn more about fixing things myself- its taking time :) If you have any further advice to give based on this comment, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks a ton again

    Great video. Your link to the Mohawk Quick Fill Burn in Sticks no longer points to that product. Now it points the Mohawk Fill-Sticks (wax) which I dont want. Mohawk also has "E-Z Flow Burn in Sticks" and "Planestick Burn in Sticks". Some are easier to get in certain colors. What is the difference between the "Quick Fill" and "Easy Flow" product?

    I have two white bookcases with cracks and splits in the wood that need repairing. What would be the best thing to use on them?

    I have a gouge on the face of an old antique dresser drawer I need to fill and then try and stain match. I'm still a bit confused as to what I should use. It's pretty deep. Would the quick wood be the way to go? Thanks!

    Hi! I have a long split right down the middle of my dining room wooden table. How would I fill that? Split is very deep.

    Hi, I’m not sure what to use on an armoire I just purchased. It has cracks in the wood. Should I use wood filler? Thanks, Karen

    Great video. Have you tried the non marring scrapers they look like plastic chisels to shave down the melt wax

    • @FixingFurniture
      @FixingFurniture  3 роки тому +2

      Yes, I have a few, but it's better to use a scraping action at first to avoid breaking the hard wax out of the filled area. They work well for softer waxes or the final stage of shaving down the hard wax. Scott

    I repaired one furniture with melted wax with range of colors within the set, quite effective i may say but staining the wood afterwards is a pain coz stain doesnt wanna adhere to waxed areas

    • @FixingFurniture
      @FixingFurniture  3 роки тому +6

      Ah, yes. I should have mentioned that wax filler sticks are meant for finished wood, not bare wood for that exact reason. Scott

      Gel stain would work better.

    My parquet floor has a dent, do you think the hard wax would be suitable to fill it? My kids are little and I don't want it resurfaced while they are still dropping things.
