Default Wood filler

I just bought and used some Durham's Water Putty for the first time. This stuff
is very neat. The first time I mixed it, I put too much water. Since I was
playing with it, I didn't want to use a lot of powder to get the consistency
perfect.

Because it was thinner than it should be (although it was usable), I painted the
edge of a piece of plywood with it. After it dried, I sanded the edge. It
doesn't look like plywood anymore. There's a good chance I'm going to do the
same thing on some plywood shelves that I'm going to paint and install this weekend.

CW: Durham's water putty. It is quite a bit like plaster but sets up
harder.


It is quite a bit how ever you mix it, plaster, putty, slush...
Properly mixed, a lot like Timbermate.




Here is a link to a nice little video about Durhams Water Putty in case anyone
wants to watch it.
