Wood Crack & Joint Filling FAQs

Can filler hide every joint?

Some joints are designed to move and should not be treated as static cosmetic defects.

How can filler colour mismatch be reduced?

Use sample testing and account for how the filler absorbs stain differently from natural wood.

Why does filler shrink?

Solvent or water loss, excessive application thickness and deep unsupported gaps can contribute.
