Overview
Made from genuine wood flour, these fillers closely emulate the properties of real wood. They can be stained, sawed, drilled, sanded, planed and nailed, just like the real thing. They show no noticeable signs of shrinking or cracking, so you'll only have to apply it once for a smooth repair. It spreads smoothly and evenly, and sinks into gaps. No mixing is required, and it dries in only 15 minutes. Suitable for interior or exterior use. Available in 10 colors.

I am refinishing bedroom furniture manufactured by Hickory Furniture Company. The furniture was produced using Paldao Veneers. What is the best color to use to fill some dents?
BEST ANSWER: Hi carol. You didn't say what color the furniture is. Just pick out something close. It can be stained. If famo gets too thick, add a little acetone to thin. I have this product in 3 colors and love the results.

Can this Famowood wood filler be thinned slightly and used as a pore filler?
BEST ANSWER: i would not try using this as grain filler. I can be thinned with acetone if it gets too thick but since it is acetone based it dries real fast. I love Wood Kote WoodPerfect grain filler. It is mineral spirit based. Dan

I am building a console table using oak. My oak is 14 inches wide and 2 inches thick but I need it to be 1.5 inches thick. The only way to do this is to cut the piece in half then rip each piece to give me the 1.5inches thick pieces. Then I will have to join the two pieces again to give me the 14 inch wide table top. Will this wood filler work to cover the seam that will be downy he middle? Every time I use wood filler, it is very visible after I stain. Since i'm using an expensive wood, I don't want to mess it up.
Thanks!
Thanks!
BEST ANSWER: Me personally I would plane the item down to 1.5" on a planer. A lot of them only go to 13" wide, but I would try a local hardwood store, usually they have the equipment there and will do it for you for a few bucks. If you have to do it your way, I would suggest applying wood glue in the seam and sanding the area so the sawdust get into the seam and let that dry and sand the area again to remove any glue residue. Famowood is the best filler out there by far, but no wood filler matches the exact wood your using. The same species wood comes in a variety of different shades, thats why its best to use the sawdust from the workpiece your using.

Can this be used to patch a chip in a maple guitar neck....... has anyone done this?
BEST ANSWER: Hi Bob, if at all possible and especially on the edge of a fret board or at the tuners use a piece of hard maple with Titebond two. If out in the field or contoured section of neck it will work well but sand area to get good bond and fill. Too match color that you can mix with Famowood use Transtint always available at the Rockler store.

I cannot say enough good about...
I cannot say enough good about the Famowood wood filler. I am a serious hobbyist, not a pro but I want things to turn out right. I am in the process of building a piece of oak furniture. With all of the trim, and molding cuts I had a couple of joint that had small gaps. In the past if I used a wood filler you could always tell it when you stained it. I used this product and you simply can not see it which made the project turn out great and made me look good. I would recommend this to anyone needing a wood filler

Pulled out my maple Famowood filler that I had not used for a year or so and found it completely dried and solidified. Added the solvent, and with a bit of scraping and mixing, then letting it sit, it completely went back to a putty form. So I was positively impressed by this aspect of the product.

Well, I was disappointed that I recieved the tiny 6 oz can rather than the pint size I buy locally for only about a buck and a half more. Admittedly, it did say 6 oz in the catalog, but I didn't even know they made a can that small. And erroniously assumed it was just a good deal on the "normal" can. (Lesson learned once again: READ THE AD, assume nothing. Aside from that, the usual great Rockler service, the backorder arived only one day later, and of course Famowood is great stuff, irregardless of size of the can, heheh.

There is no substitute when it comes to the best of the best. That what Famo is all about. You simply will not find a better wood filler. Its ability to basically become invisible is what sets it apart from everything on the market. Nail holes vanish,slight imperfections in a mitered joint seam together. The only down side, hard to come by. Not readily available at your local box store etc etc .

It's the best that i have ever used! Applies, sands, stains and finishes great. Cuts about 75% labor by the end result. I'll keep using and recomend the solvent for ease of use in small dings.
