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>

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>

Q: How long does wood filler take to dry?

• <div><p>It can take as little as 30 to 60 minutes for wood filler to dry, but some products take up to four hours. Always read labels to ensure you're following the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions. Water-based wood fillers typically take longer to dry than oil-based or epoxy-wood fillers, especially when applied to large areas or deep cracks. Wood putty won&rsquo;t dry completely, remaining slightly pliable.</p></div>

Q: Is wood veneer actually wood?

• <div><p>Yes, wood veneer is wood. Instead of using large pieces of lumber, wood is sliced into thin sheets that are glued or laminated to larger pieces of wood. Wood veneer is both cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and versatile. It can be stained or have different finishes&mdash;varnish, lacquer, shellac, and more&mdash;based on your preferences.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my bed frame?

• <div><p>Regularly check and tighten bolts, avoid overloading, and inspect for wear.</p></div>

Great! Karen Ames helped me choose the products; she was very knowledgeable, pleasant and efficient. The carpet-laying team was finished in less than a day. They recommended contractors who moved our furniture, installed the tile, and the vinyl were easy to work with and did great work.
