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>

Q: Can you reverse water damage to a wood table?

• <div><p>Minor water damage on wood tables can be reversed fairly easily. You can remove stains and light surface damage with a sandblock, then repaint and re-varnish the wood surface. For swollen and rotten wood, you can cut away the damaged parts and use a wood filler as long as the affected area isn&rsquo;t too much.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance do experts recommend post-refinishing?

• <div><p>Use rugs in high-traffic areas, immediately clean up spills, and do regular dust mopping.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tackle small rooms yourself if you're handy and have a flat, clean subfloor to work with. But seams must be sealed properly, or the barrier will fail. Any gaps will let moisture sneak through and defeat the purpose of installing this more expensive type of carpet padding. For larger rooms or areas, professional installation is usually worth the extra cost.</p></div>

Q: Can I use expanding foam to fill rotten wood?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you&rsquo;re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.</p></div>
