Great video Johnathon. Woodturners also use coffee grounds and CA. Also we sometimes accentuate the flaw and turn it into a feature by filling with brass powder or a colored resin or crushed mineral.

Super helpful. Thanks for the advice. Keep up the great work

Great tips Jason. I always learn something from your posts.

I also use a mashup of a couple of these techniques for some problem spots.

Work sawdust into a void then flood with thin CA glue. Finally, rub a little more sawdust over the top. I’ve used this with small voids when turning and it blends in nicely.

Good stuff Jason. The hot melt is the only one I haven't seen before. Thanks.

Excellent tips, Jason. I've ran across a few of these problems in the past without out knowing how to deal with them. Now I do!

I m thinking about using the hot glue gun method. Is this a safe bet for pre-finished hardwood floor board as I don't want to sand. I believe using the cutter carefully may work. What is your thoughts?

Hey thanks for putting this together, helped me out a lot! Keep it up

Jjust finishing building my second coffee table and ran into a couple of minor problems. But now i know exactly what to do. Gratful for the vid, thanks!!!

Thank you for the information. I wasn't looking forward to about 20 knotty alder doors and epoxy. I am going to use the rangate and trusting that you haven't seen any problems with shrinkage on interior doors. Crossing fingers.

Great video, quick question for you can you use the titebond and sawdust to fill in a hole in the wood instead of using something like an epoxy. Lets say it a chuck missing of 1/8 deep by about 1 inch by 1 inch.

Just received my Hot melt gun system yesterday and look forward to using it. I have a large Oak slab with a large knot to fill as well as several gaps, cracks and etc. I got the smaller gun kit. Great video.

I like the glue gun for larger knots. How hard will the glue get? Where do you find hardening glue?

[engjds]

Helpful, I have just tried superglue and wood shavings to fill in holes on reused pine, trying to get a glass-like finish.

Hi Jason. Recently laid some light oak flooring with some large knot holes. Going to try the hot glue method. What’s the best gun on the market now, and although it’s light wood the knots are dark so would think black would be good. Great videos and thanks for the tips.
