Cracks in Hardwood Flooring
Q: How do I fill in spaces between the wood strips of my hardwood floor? The wood somehow split and now there are spaces. I tried filling them with wood putty, but the color was quite different and it didn't last long.
A: Our flooring refinishers use a wood putty to repair
splits in flooring. First they clean out the area, rough it up for good adhesion, then mix a putty color to match the hardwood floor and apply. Some flooring pros use a sawdust and clear drying wood glue as a filler. Install this mixture and apply a finish over it.
