Interior teak wood filler

[LittleShip]

It is very unlikely that you will be happy if you use any filler to fill the holes. I have filled hundreds over the years and IMHO the only way is to use a teak bung and then varnish.

You can buy bung cutters in various sizes to suit and any old teal will do to make a new bung.

+1 - anything bigger than a small nail/pin hole and you want a bung - make sure you line up the grain. Brummer stopping is good for splits or tiny holes, but stands out IMO if you use it on larger ones.

Thanks for this offer, Maby, but as the holes are only from screws for old instruments, then I think I may try Brummer Stopper filler.

Plastic wood is a disaster.

For the inept (like what I am) plugs are a nightmare waiting to happen.

On a similar problem on mahogany I used the wax filling crayons by these people;

with good result on small screw holes.

I think you may have posted the wrong link, as this one leads to an obiturary website??!!

Yes thanks for that.

If you can find a piece of teak get your sander and generate some dust,mix with Resin W or other PVA adhesive to form a paste.Works well.

Except that the colour usually turns out darker than the original wood. Hell of a job to colour match.
You could always make small diamond shaped Dutchmen
and leave it obvious but pretty.

Filler will do fine, followed by a decent felt marker darker than the wood applied in the direction of the grain, apply & rub in direction of grain,I used to use my thumb, repeat until looks right. Also works over wax filler but not permanent.
