Re: [BlindHandyMan] question about wood filler

[Tom Fowle]

I doubt a filler will hold screws,
If you have the space, how about drilling out the screw holes to maybe 3/8ths
inch and gluing dowels in them to take the new screw holes then filling in the
rest with plastic wood before sand and finishing. Drill for the dowels as deep 
as you dare to give yiu plenty of gripping surface.

Even if you replaced the wood with a new chunk and could ,match the color, 
you'd want to put in some pins between tghe new and old wood to gain strength

EPOXY PUTTY is a wood workers go to repair 
product. Tenacious bonding to wood. Can be
drilled, sawed, sanded, drilled and tapped. Repair fine furniture. 4 shades.
Sizes available: 2oz (Length 3.5 Inches) & 4oz. (Length 7 1/8 Inches)
Technical Specs: EpoxyGatorR Alumina Stick
Two component, ready to use simply by cutting 
amount desired, kneading by hand to

to scratch the surface to ensure proper 
bonding. If any oil is present, please wash/wipe
it away using a solvent or cleaner.
Cut the desired amount using a knife. Mix by 
kneading to a uniform consistency.
All our epoxy putty sticks are two component and 
are conveniently colored. While
mixing make sure both colors have blended

hard to mix. Simply heat up the epoxy stick 
until room temperature and use. After
mixing, immediately apply within 2 minutes to the

Yes you can drill and put screws in plastic wood. But in case of the chair
no it will not stand that kind of pressure.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] question about wood filler

[Max Robinson]

In my admittedly limited experience you can't drill and put screws into 
filler.  I once repaired the leg of a swivel chair.  I mean the part where 
the caster shaft goes in.  The wood had broken away around the hole.  The 
previous owner had tried to glue the original pieces back and that lasted 
about 5 seconds.  I bought it off  him for 5 dollars.I completely cut 
away the damaged wood making straight smooth cuts.  Then I got a block of 
the same kind of wood and glued it in place.  Then I planed and sanded it 
down to be smooth and drilled a new hole for the caster shaft.  I sold it 
several years ago for 25 dollars and as far as I know it is still holding 
together.  I didn't take the final step of finishing the added piece to 
match but it could be done and with care it should be invisible.  Your 
situation is very different than mine because your break is in a highly 
visible area and on something that must be made to look as good as new.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] question about wood filler

 

  

Hi list,

I have a part of a piano which has a place on the edge of the fall 
board, "part of the piano which closes and covers the keys" that has 
broken away. This is at a screw whole.

I will need to build this place up with some sort of wood filler or 
plastic wood or something then re drill a screw whole. Now this 
filled in place will be visible when the "fall board" is raised.

So my question, or two questions are;

1. what do I need to fill in this place to be strong enough to drill 
a pilot whole and put a screw in?

2. Will touch up pencels work to cover the newly replaced surface, 
allowing I can get the right color of touch up pencel or pencels? I 
know touch up penceles work on real wood but what about on wood fillers?
I am about to run out. I have a ride coming, so, if you can respond 
quickly I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
