Gap filling wooden pine floor with filler and sawdust mix 

How did the floors come up. Would you do it again.

What is the ratio of filler to room size?

He's young he'll be okay for a few years

My thoughts... Exactly!

I was like that when in my 20s ..damn .i was thinking i was going to be young forever ..i use to intall floors all day no knee pads😐🙄

Us older guys done worked for 40 years electricians plumbers drywallers all trades we need a handled projects.my back has been damaged over the years .when you get older u'll be in pain.great job.

How does the sawdust stay in place? I read that pva glue should go down first? Or will the wood filler act as that?

Lol what is a dime?

I’m looking for the same answer. Were you successful in found out the name of that liquid filler ?

You sand it off after drying

lmfao made my day Mr. Sheep.

that's funny shit bruh

Wait... leftover? What was your primary use? LOL...

Hi, did you figure out how to fill holes in your table top please? I have a dent in the top of my lovely table (veneer) that I'd love to fix.

is it still held up well?

yep i use a wood glue with sawdust all the time specially for knots on the floors I pre stain the dust and let it sit for a while then mix the glue in pack in the knots with paper as a base then I fill leaving it slightly proud. Sand then put in finish stain. for me this is the best way

​@@randallpaul6559would caulk and wood filler act as glue if mixed with the sawdust?

I have been doing something like this... water/glue with sawdust... since 1972... It always works... but I do use plain White Glue... maybe that is the difference. ???

@@judichristopher4604 what water/glue/sawdust ratio do you use? I need to redo my soft wood floors

@@jessicafifield7347 There is really none to speak of... Will, I guess I'd do 50/50 water/glue, mix first... put it in the hole, (few drops, depending on how big the hole is) ... don't worry about putting too much, it is better to put a little too much water/glue than not enough, because when you scrape the sawdust (you just sanded) you'll put the sawdust right on top of the water/glue combination... Pat it down gently... the water/glue will absorb the sawdust and sink down inside the hole... Next day preferably you can gently sand it down... This really works so great. You would not believe the holes in wood (furniture) I have fixed with this little trick. Using the same wood (sand the item you're fixing) is great... I never use WOOD GLUE for this application... and I have been doing this for over 40 years... Hope this helps.

@@judichristopher4604 Hi Judi your method sounds absolutely fantastic. I have 2 large bedrooms to do on a very tight budget (I'm retired) May I ask you what glue you use please? And can I mix the sawdust into the glue/water to make a paste and insert into the gaps. I'll be hiring a professional to sand and varnish so I have to have the gaps filled (with the sawdust and glue/water) prior to his visit.

@@MissHappyKate Just Plain old White Glue... I NEVER use Wood Glue for this application... The wood glue drys and cracks... and it stains a different color.. when using the Water/White Glue mixture, first sand around the hole to get the sawdust to put in the hole after putting the Water/Glue mixture, let dry over night, then sand the next day...

Use a steamer or if you have no steamer get a old cloth and put over the stain and heat an iron on steam and try ironing on top of cloth and when you done that for a couple of mins take cloth up wear some gloves in case cloth is hot and wipe glue stain off,that should work.If not go to hardware shop and ask for something to get it off.

Either glue or a floor resin I would guess

The floor is lightly sanded after the gap filler has set in. We may need to repeat the procedure if the gaps are large to make sure gap filler does not fall through.

Many thanks!

Drill a larger hole and put a dowel it it then cut it flush with the floor, Use 2 part epoxy with dye or wood dust and fill it, If you have a router or chisels you can do a bowtie patch also. Once any of those are done you can sand then seal it

Yes brother. It’s the same thing

Epoxy is junk job for floors. And countertops.

это технический пол он предназначен под паркет ламинат или линолеум ) щели между досок нормальны

Yes, once filler is applied sand with 100/120 then you can apply any finish you like to the floor

I remember that

I recent' have done this, doubt you still need the information but someone else may find it useful. In the USA, find and order a product by Glitsa called Wood Flour Cement. You will then mix this with your 100 grit dust. I used 80 grit and it was too coarse. Also, be prepared with a charcoal activated respirator, the Wood Flour Cement is highly potent and contains a high level of VOC.

Ryan Herrero thank you, I've been looking for a substitute in the states

X-tra Fill with saw dust

And what do you buy if you are not in USA? Did they say this in the video or did you say this in your post?

Jess Jam remove all the boards and put them back in tighter, with a new board at the end, its is a huge job to do but certainly solves the problem of large gaps and keeping old boards.

eBay 'pine slivers' glue/hammer these in the gaps, take tops off and sand.. small gaps Use Lecol 7500 mixed with 80/100 grit dust from floor

They both have a point. It is up to you at the end of the day. The filler will start falling out eventually which may become unsightly. We suggest not to fill gaps, it is up to our customers to decide.

The filler will eventually drop through the gap and leave a hole. Floorboards expand and contract with the changing temperature over the year and you’ll just be left with gaps again. Big gaps can be filled with pine slivers.

Use Lecol 7500 mixed with 80/100 grit dust from floor

Use Lecol 7500 mixed with 80/100 grit dust from floor

Yes its a clear product, you can use either Lecol or Jenckins filler, you can get it in UK.

kevin mchugh

Jenkins resin + saw dust

What is the filler is it epoxy?

You cal also use lecol filler as an alternative, not sure if its available in US

Bob.. ever find a source for Lecol 7500 Filler or Jenkins Wood filler in the USA? Bob Byerly

Joe Mezzanini I used Elmers wood filler, and I mixed dust from sanding, and a little water to thin it. It was still not quite as dark as the floor wood, but the finished job looks good enough for an ameteur.

Bob Byerly thank you Sir

After having that floor done for a couple years, I find that in areas where there is heavy foot traffic,and places in the wood flex a little, the filler cracks out. Believe it or not, I got some almond colored caulk and filled those cracks again as an emergency measure. Had water & sponge handy to wipe off excess and clean. So far so good. At least the caulk is flexible, and at a glance you cannot tell it's there.

I think you need to sand floor first.

Sanded. Glues and what not dont stick to finished very well. you would have to sand it and seal it anyway after filling like this.

Jenkins resin wood filler, can be bought in UK, thanks

Use Lecol 7500 mixed with 80/100 grit dust from floor

eat the sawdust, then use the diarrhea, aren't you guys paying attention?

7mm gaps are too wide to be filled with filler. Use pine slivers as in video here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IvVx0G4Wev4.html and then do a final gap fill on top of that with a mix of saw dust and filler (Jenkins)

+Rich Kane 1/8 of an inch = 3,2 mm. Max. 4 mm. Saw dust for these. Sanding dust for 1-2 mm if you want to fill them. Shrinkage is normal for pine/fir boards. Slivers for wider gaps and then filler. After having worked with massive wood in Scandinavia for many years....

D. Smith yes it'll be sanded smooth before staining and polyethylene

Yes 100/120 grit to finish

Malcolm Slimy isn't it best to not fill the gaps allowing for movement

That's what Malcolm was saying, yes. There's only so much you can do to modernize old houses. Some of them might be in good enough condition. Most of them where I live - London - were built during/after the war, so everything is very shoddy. There's only so much you can do.

whats funny is i just watched this old house and they used the jute twine and ever post was calling the guy a idiot

had this done in my house 1 year on its all hoovered out and need something else doing to it, completely pointless.

Omg that’s so true!!! We bought an old house in Portugal, where the second floor had an old beautiful pine floor. We decided to keep it, and we did exactly that. It has been 3 years, every time we vacuum the fillers come out. We no longer vacuum, but the temperature fluctuations make expansion and contracting of the wood. The floor is still beautiful but it has become an issue bc it can easily splinter now. It is all cracked. It is a problem in older houses with poor insulation and most old houses are not insulated property. Those floors are beautiful but a pain on your brain and pocket 😂

Troy Smart i guarantee he doesn't move like that for 8 hrs a day. It looks good for the video

or they become the men they wanted to marry..... ;)

ii think it says diarrhea in the description
