Hi,

Have a few screw 1/4" dia. approx. screw holes (screws long gone) in
my wood siding.

What's a good product to fill them up with?

I remember small tubes of "Plastic Wood"
Would this be the stuff to use, or is there something better now ?

Would have to be available in small tubes, as I onle a few holes to
fill in.

Thanks,
Bob


They still make plastic wood. It comes in many wood colors if your
siding is natural color. If painted, you can use any color, or even the
auto body filler Bondo, and paint to match the color.


Durham's Water Putty is good,too. You mix the powder with water,so there's
no drying out during long-term storage.
it dries rock hard,is drillable,,doesn't take a stain unless you mix it in
with the water.

Note,if you make it a slurry,it's very moldable,takes all the detain of the
container/mold.
