What are the different ways to fill holes and gaps in hardwood floors? 

thanks!! super informative.

My parents had someone fill in the gaps in their wood floors with wood filler. It lasted about a year and then it all popped out. I was looking at epoxy and wondering if that was a better option for adhesion?

Great explanation from an expert, 🙏 thank you.

Thank you

Thank you for this!! I installed reclaimed red oak, and I have a fair amount of gaps. They aren't visible unless you are looking close, but of course I notice them. 😑

Thank you.

nice. thanks. I live on the west side of Portland maybe I'll make the drive over there when stain my wood floors

Wood dust from sanding the floor plus a can of 'Sanding Sealer' (found at any of the big box stores) mixed together tends to work much better than glue...

What if your floor is already polished? What can be done to fill gaps?

Thank you very much Craig, very informative! Wish me luck!

I have two-inch thick poplar wood floors that have some gaps up to half-inch would the Woodwise powder work best would it hold up to expanding and contracting

Professionals don't use sanding dust and wood glue... Just saw a "This Old House" episode where they suggest sanding dust and wood glue...lol.

When using the fexible caulk the first time it is after the floor is finished. For a refinish can you put a water based wood floor finish over the caulk that is still in place?

"Only time a pro will use fines to fill gaps is if they want to match the wood color better" Hmmmm I'm scratching my head here.

If there's a sizable hole (1" x 1/4") in a stained flooring, is wood filler or wood putty suggested?

bought a home from 1762 with gorgeous original floors but in some cases they have large gaps in between (as much as 1/4" at worst spots) -- which of the products above would be most effective?

What would you suggest for Brazilian Teak? The colors vary so much that it’s hard to find what will work well.

Thank you for the video. Would any of the trowel applied wood filler products be suitable for a floor that is already finished and polished? My floor was sand and polished a few years ago but the gaps were never filled and the floor allows so much draught in. I have dried some areas with a no more gaps sealant tube and it takes FORVER. I was hoping a water based product might apply and clean up easy?

I’m about to sand and stain my parkay floors for a 4th time and I want to change the stain from dark cherry(currently) to gray (like the laminate floor color). I have several chips small holes that I need to fill. Can I use the grey cement filler that is used for outside cement blocks cracks for these holes given that the color grey will match?

what about jute rope?

Don't use wood filler either it just cracks up and falls out within a year

to bad only floor guys can buy that stuff, cant buy it at box stores.
