Wood fillers

[stripermaineiac]

Krinkle, i do a lot of my sanding on the lathe . just pop the plug back in take some 180 down to 100 grit and it takes a few seconds to be where i want it. I may even try some of each to see what works best as I'm doing a load of plugs that I need to fill over belly weight holes and am also gonna try doing some repairs on old ones to reuse them .Thanks for the ideas and input guys. I'll post what I run into. I seem to be able to find every gremlin there is when I do stuff LOL.

Take a plastic lid from a coffee can. Cut it to fit inside the wood filler can. Drop in in after you use the filler. Is will reduce the amount of surface air on the filler remaining in the can. When teh can is about 1/2 full try to push all filler uniforml;y to the bottom to allow lid to rest across without large air viods.
It will help keep the filler moist longer.
