In Response To: Strip: Wood filler (Don)

: You must have ESP Don, I'm going to try that tonight to fill in between some deck strips. I have tried redwood dust mixed into epoxy and it comes up real shiny (glassy??) and HARD TO SAND. I am hoping that by mixing the dust with some natural looking wood filler I have, I can get the desired effect i.e. a nice color blend with the redwood. Will post on the results tomorrow. JJ.

Building my second Guillimot,and trying to get a little fancy with the
: design. Having some bad cuts that I would like to fill. I've used epoxy
: with wood dust but found it very hard to sand. Was wondering if anyone has
: used "plastic wood" filler or something else with success.
