Default wood filler

"Lee" wrote in
t:

Have some very small gaps in joined wood I would like to fill. (Yeah I
know I need a new joiner) What should I use for a filler?
Wood is walnut and the finish will be tung oil ( no Stain)
Looked at Behlen wood-fil ( water base)and it seems to be the right
choice. If I'm right where can I get some. Catalogs and Woodcrafter
don't mention it.
Is there an alternative brand and should I use water or solvent base?
Thanks in advance

No matter what you use, there will be a noticeable portion, with an oil
finish.

That said, Rockler's has a water-based filler that sorta works for small
stuff, like the holes where the 18ga brad went through the wood. Try it
with scrap first, whatever you use, all the way to the end of your
finishing program, to see if you like it. This stuff is cheap, compared to
screwing up your whole project.
