Question from jiwaskow

New construction – need to cover nail holes in door trim etc with wood putty. I got wood putty sticks but carpenter says they are too brittle and he wants to use Minwax putty, which has a strong smell for me.

Any other ideas, alternatives? Need something fast. Thanks!

Debra’s Answer

Just mix a little sawdust from the wood you are using with yellow woodworker’s glue to make a paste. Totally nontoxic and the color blends perfectly!
