Color-Match Sawdust Gap Filler
Apr 05, 2007
A lot of woodworkers fill smallish dings, dents, and splits with homemade putty made from sanding dust and wood glue. To make the putty less visible, I go a half-step further and use dust from the same species of wood that’s getting filled. To ensure a ready source of different types of sawdust, I store dust from several common wood species in individual containers. A sawdust source is never a problem; I just empty the dust-collection canister on my random-orbit sander after using it on a particular species of wood.
