In a perfect world our woodworking projects wouldn’t require wood putty, filler, or grain filler. But wood is a natural product so some defects are inherent and as woodworkers we are prone to small mistakes. That’s where this homemade wood putty (and wood filler) comes in.
And if you are concerned, this is a small way to build green since you already have the sawdust and you are not paying for the production and shipping of little metal putty cans.
What You Need to Make Wood Putty
This is a simple procedure and the results are more accurate and less expensive than commercial putty and filler products. Here is what you will need.
- Sawdust from your woodworking project
- Elmer’s glue
- Popsicle stick or something similar to mix with
- A piece of scrap cardboard
The Process
This short video demonstrates the process; it’s not complicated and you just have to work the mixture until you achieve the desired consistency.
