What is the difference between wood putty and wood filler?

• <div><p>When browsing the hardware store, you may wonder about <a href="https://angi.com/articles/wood-putty-vs-filler.htm">wood putty versus wood filler</a>. Wood putty is made with plastic adhesive, whereas wood filler is made from sawdust or wood products. </p><p>The main difference is that people use wood filler to fix the interior portions of wood. Wood putty contains chemicals that could damage the inside of wood, so it's best for exterior sections. If the crack or hole goes into the middle of the lumber, it's the right product for the job.</p></div>

Does vinegar remove wood stain?

• <div><p>Vinegar won’t strip the wood stain from your wood, but it can help remove a different type of stain. If you’re dealing with food stains or trying to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-water-stains-wood.htm">remove water rings on your wood</a>, you can use a little olive oil and vinegar (mixed equally) to remove those stains without stripping your actual wood stain. Just rub the solution in the direction of the wood grain, let it sit, and then wipe it away with a damp towel.</p></div>

When should you not use wood filler?

• <div><p>Avoid using wood filler for structural repairs or areas with extensive damage. Wood filler is designed for cosmetic fixes like filling small holes, cracks, or surface imperfections, and it doesn't provide the strength needed for load-bearing repairs or large gaps. You also shouldn’t use wood filler in areas exposed to heavy moisture or extreme outdoor conditions unless it’s a product specifically rated for such environments. Wood replacement or a strong epoxy resin is a better solution for severe rot or structural damage. </p></div>

Dan is fantastic! I've used Better Than New on several occasions to fix damaged furniture, to refinish outdated pieces and to reface my bathroom cabinets. He's always quick to respond, friendly and reliable. I have complete confidence in his work and would highly recommend him to anyone.

The movers were friendly and prompt. My only issue is that some of the furniture that was wrapped in plastic should probably have been padded a little better. There was some minor damage, but nothing too serious.

I had looked online for table pads before and had seen Berger's website, but never placed an order. When this deal came up through Angie's List, it was just what I needed to stop procrastinating. It was easy to make a drawing of my table using the materials and instructions they mailed to me. I...

Our teak dining set was at least 15 years old and had seen better days as it has been outside on various patios since we moved to Arizona in 2003 (prior to that it was on a screen porch in Atlanta). It was badly deteriorated and I really didn't think it was salvageable. I am super-picky about...
