Kurt Johnson Posted March 29, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 29, 2016 Is there much difference in Elmer's ProBond wood filler with regards to simulating treenails? I can't sem to find the reg Elmer's any more. Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaager Posted March 29, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 29, 2016 I read a few reviews on Amazon - the new product does not seem to be something you would want to use. A more course texture with ceramic inclusions does not sound good. Why not use wood flour mixed with PVA? You and mix a dye with the fine saw dust or use a wood species that is already the shade that you wish. Mix up as much as you need just at the time - no storage problems. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Johnson Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted March 30, 2016 I didn't do a test on it but I was afraid that was what I would hear. I don't see the praticality of mixing up saw dust. It would onlly stay the right constancy for 2 or 3 holes, and there are a thousand. I know I can always mahe real treenaiils. May be wax will work.

kurtvd19 Posted March 30, 2016 Share #4 Posted March 30, 2016 Kurt: I got some of the Pro Bond and tried it and dumped the whole thing in the garbage. It might be great for filling something on a rough sawn cedar fence but not on any model. There is a new formula for the Elmer's wood filler - the normal stuff - that is now much nicer than the original - give it a try. I have used it quite a bit and like it. Sands easy and fills small holes like your treenails. If you can't get it locally there is always eBay - with free shipping or Amazon.
