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>

Al and his helper arrived on time every day. They were clean painters, and moved all the furniture to paint and then moved it back into place. They were so pleasant to have in my home and as much as I hated the ordeal, I honestly enjoyed them. The grand prize: Al did an outstanding paint...

Do not trust this company. Horrible. My brand new car was covered in pool plaster because they didn't move the machine to mix it and set it right next to my mustang in the drive way. Our furniture has spray deck all over it. And our patio has cement all over it

The young man showed up completely unprepared. He did a quick look around and asked what we were wanting done. Oddly enough, all he did was complain throughout the experience (he'll have to move furniture, etc.). He didn't even bring a pen or piece of paper with him and never quoted us a price....

The cleaning of my house was really just a superficial cleaning. They do not clean behind furniture (even the microwave) or dust in places higher than about 5 feet. They seem to merely wipe the shower floor and walls. The ladies go through the motions, cleaning the same places every time, with...
