DIY Wood Filler

"To make a versatile wood filler for free, just grab a paper plate and combine Elmer's or any other wood glue with sawdust. Like other wood fillers, you can stain or finish it, but the color will likely be a bit different than the surrounding wood. But, it’s sandable, paintable and long-lasting. I haven't bought any wood filler in over 50 years.” — Dan Gola
