Wooden Putty

Wooden putty is one of type paint that used to patch holes in wood for made surface flat again. More higher the percentage of solid content wooden putty, more easier to close a hole in the wood. So wooden putty contains lots of pigment extender or filler.

Wooden putty for wood/furniture there are  water based and solvent based. We recommended currently use water-based. This is because water based paint more environmentally friendly rather than solvent-based. Indeed, some furniture still used solvent-based.

Excess using wooden putty water based apart environmentally friendly , also in terms of a cheaper price than the wooden putty solvent-based. But if your all application step using solvent-based, would be better if using wooden putty solvent-based as well. In order to reduce damage to the wooden putty. Wooden putty that too much use of calcium carbonate extender pigment will be very vulnerable to the acid chloride (HCl).

Each item must have its advantages and disadvantages, isn't it? So the wooden putty water based too. If the wooden putty Water Based and then applied with wood stain (dyes) from solvent based, there will be difference color between wooden putty and wood. This could be due to the lack of compatibility between wooden putty  water-based and solvent based stain that affected by the polarity between water and solvent. If using wooden putty water based and stain water based the result will be better. But it would be even better if the wooden putty solvent-based and solvent-based stain. The color results that displayed will be brighter.

Wooden putty can be applied using knife or spatula. Along with the development of paint, there are some wooden putty apply by wiping. But a solid percentage lower than wooden putty applied using spatula. The Benefit wiping wooden putty only much easier in applications. Actually it can be said that the wiping wooden putty not a pure wooden putty but wood filler that the function as a filling wood pores.
