Opinions on best stainable wood filler or glue?
Comments (3)Does "stainable wood filler" take stain? Yss (usually). Does it take stain and look just like the surrounding wood, no, usually. There are few options: * Since you are going to distress it, why not just consider the chips part of the distressing (Option 1 is always, "Do nothing.") * Wait until you are almost done (next to last coat of finish) and use the wax products to fill in the voids. Pick two or three colors that are dominant in your almost done top and smear them together. Wipe off the excess and apply the final coat of clear finish. * Use a wood filler in the right color range, stain it, then use artist's pencils to grain in and tweak the colors after the stain is dry but before or between the coats of finish (Elmer's wood putty in the tube (it's had various names over the years) for the filler and Prismatic Pencil are the brands I use). I would not use wood glue and sawdust -- this rarely looks good and can cause problems such as glue splotches if you use the wrong type or amount of glue....See MoreWhite wood glue to seal a graft?
Comments (2)wax is preferred ... it breaks apart.. as the plant expands ... i dont understand how glue could do such.. unless it degraded enough to break down.. soon enough ... though.. apparently.. google proves me wrong.. see link ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See MoreFood-safe Epoxy glue?
Comments (6)If the glue does not adhere properly to some glazed areas it could become hard sand bit and affect your use. Gritty bits. Beeswax is a great idea. It has been used for years to line crockery and wooden boxes, cover cheeses, etc. To preserve wood in contact with water or soil...the uses are endless. Will not react with your coconut oil at all. Dries very hard and if a tiny bit gets scraped up with your oil, it will not be like bits of sand. I'll be doing some projects with it next week. I use very high quality but even the blocks at any hobby store for maybe 9dollars for 1 lb is good for what you need. I've used that quality for some wood sealing. You amy only use a dollars worth. You could epoxy the bottom of your crock. Then seal the inside with beeswax. If you have saved the others that cracked, do them all at the same time. Post a pic if you want some help walking through the project. I'm on holiday about to cross the StLawrenceSeaway and will have lots of time in a couple days......See MoreSuper Glue to Seal Cuts
