Use vinyl spackling compound or water-based wood filler to fill small holes on interior surfaces. When applying wood filler, fill the hole slightly so that it doesn’t shrink as the wood dries. Sand it smooth and prime it before painting or staining it, depending on the color of the wood.

Can you use drywall spackle on wood?
Absolutely, you can. drywall mud sticks to wood because it is a porous surface. On rough wood, joint compound works great. Wood with a high-sheen paint or wood panelling with high gloss finish will not stick to drywall mud.
If you want to add a bit of gloss to your wood, apply a thin coat of paint to the wood and let it dry completely before applying a second coat. This will give you a glossy finish that will last for years.
What can I use instead of wood filler?
If you have any wood-fillers on hand, you can combine them with a paper plate and make a versatile wood filler for free. You can also make your own wood fillers by mixing equal parts of water and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed. If you don’t have corn starch, you can use corn syrup instead.
Is wood filler different than spackle?
It is difficult to tell the difference between wood and spackle because they both fill holes on flat surfaces before painting. The key difference between wood and spackle is that wood is stainable, while spackle is not. Wood Filler is a type of wood that is used to fill a hole on a flat surface. It is usually sanded to remove any surface imperfections before it is applied to the surface to be painted.
Wood filler can also be used in conjunction with other types of paint, such as varnish, lacquer, or clear coat, to create a durable finish that will last for many years. However, it can be difficult to get the right amount of sanding to achieve the desired look and feel of the finished product. Because of this, many people choose to use a combination of both woodfillers and spackles in their projects.
Can I use patching compound on wood?
A patching compound can be used to fix cracks and holes. It can also be applied directly to the surface of the concrete or wood. It is important to apply the patch in a well-ventilated area, away from heat and moisture.
