Morning milbry, Don't get the Dap putty, I've had past problems with it. Find Crawfords, much better. http://crawfords.com/public/SiteHandler/resources/images/crawfords/putty_on.jpg Steve Hand Painted by Steve

Hey milbry, Nearly 50 years ago my father showed me how to fill a nail hole. It sounds simple but there is a technique to tit. I’m a firm believer that nail holes are to be filled using “Painter’s Putty”. They make it for just that reason. If you take a small wad of...
