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 do you refinish a table top without stripping it?

• <div><p>It is possible to refinish a table without stripping and sanding it by repairing small dents. You&rsquo;ll use a gel stain, and then put on a wipe-on finish. The downside is this won't result in as smooth and as deep of a finish as if you had stripped the table. Also, any blemishes on your table will remain. </p></div>

Q: What is wood filler?

• <div><p>Wood filler is used to fix imperfections or damaged interior sections of wood on items like cabinets, door frames, and even laminate floors or countertops. It contains wood byproducts like sawdust mixed with water or solvent, which helps bind to wood and dry pretty quickly.</p></div>

Q: When should you not use a wood filler?

• <div><p>If the scratch is large enough that it compromises the integrity of the wood, a wood filler probably won&rsquo;t be enough to fix the problem. In that case, you might need to sand and refinish the entire floor or replace a board. If you do use a filler, use one that&rsquo;s appropriate for the scratch. Water-based wood fillers work for small gaps or gouges, while epoxy has added strength to fill larger scratches and gaps.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove cloudy film from a wood table?

• <div><p>A cloudy film on top of a wooden surface usually means either the incorrect cleaner was used or there is polish buildup. You&rsquo;ll need to start over again and remove the surface cleaner with a damp rag and some water and dish soap. Be careful not to leave the wood surface wet as this could cause water damage. </p></div>

Diamond coating team did my floor in my closet. They gave me great advice and information that helped me choose the perfect coating for my area. They covered everything and protected my furniture and walls. I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a coating!

Very friendly, very careful and professional and handled our furniture very well. Moved things in the home that wasn't even part of the initial move. Would definitely recommend Collin and Kyler.

Rick did not do the paint job on my furniture correctly the first time so I asked him to re-do it. He now has had my furniture in his possession for almost two months and will not bring it back to me or return my calls. I wanted to have it back this week because my daughter was coming to...

They were very good. They were very flexible on when to come and arrived promptly as promised. My cost was without furniture, so I was glad they had two different pricing scales.
