Easy Wood Filler

At some point, these two twins above were separated… not at birth but much later in life. I’m pretty sure they were at one-time a waterfall vanity. The trend in furniture makeovers is to take a piece of furniture and recreate it into something that is functional with today’s styles. These will make the perfect pair of nightstands. But before painting, they will need my easy wood filler.

Sanding and Prep Before Applying Easy Wood Filler

Applying The Mud

The application is super easy. Use a spatula with the Dixie Belle Mud and smooth it over the wood damaged surface. You can even “smash” the Mud into deep gouges but you will need to allow for extra dry time if you’re filling this kind of damage.

This is why I never pass up a damaged piece because the repair on wood is simple with an easy wood filler. Now, if you have a really large area, you will need Bondo. CLICK HERE and I have an example of how to use the Bondo.

Until the next project…
