I have a wooden plank in my home. A few months back I noticed a few holes in the wooden plank. As I was not sure about how to fill holes in wood, I researched online for DIY steps. Thankfully from what I researched I found Epoxy resin to be one of the best products in filling wood holes. If you too want to fill wooden holes, consider using it.

How Do You Fill Holes in Wood?

The ideal technique for filling wood holes with epoxy depends on the size and form of the hole. Epoxy, like dyes or varnishes, sticks to the pores and fibres of wood. You can get two-part epoxy kits in the majority of hardware stores that come with a hardener to combine with the resin to create a long-lasting, waterproof filler.

A putty knife or epoxy ball works well for tiny holes. For bigger holes, 

  1. Consider creating a paste by combining wood shavings or sawdust. 

  2. Sand the epoxy flush with the wood\'s surface after it has dried. 

  3. Next, apply paint or varnish as necessary.

I hope these steps help you in filling wooden holes.

Do you have a hole in a piece of wood or in a door that needs filling? I can share 2 steps on how to fill wood hole. I consider them to be the easiest ways to fix holes in wood.

How Do You Fill Holes in Wood?

Wood Putty

  • Clear the debris from the hole. To make sure the putty fills up deep holes completely, use a chisel to gently deepen the hole.

  • To mix the wood putty, follow the packaging instructions. If it's in powder form, dilute it with water until a thick paste consistency is reached.

  • Fill the hole with putty by moving the knife back and forth while using little pressure.

  • Using the knife, level off any extra putty from the surface.

  • Let the putty cure, which should take about a day.

  • Using fine-grit sandpaper or an electric sander, smooth out the cured putty until it is smooth. 

Wood Candle

  • For accuracy, trim the candle wick to about 1/4 inch.

  • Melt the tip of the candle slightly.

  • As you pour the wax into the hole, let it cool between layers before adding more.

  • Sand and buff the surface, then apply the chosen stain.

You can follow any one of these steps to help you with how to fix holes in wood.

Hi there,

It was last summer when I was working on giving my wooden door and other furniture a new look. That is when I accidentally drilled a hole in my sofa. I started to panic but my panic forced me to look for solutions to cover up for my mistake. I wanted to know about a good wood hole filler. I had no idea of how to fill holes in wood, so I needed to know and understand the entire process. After doing some research, I understood the process and I was even able to successfully fill a large hole I made on the sofa. I will share with you exactly what I did.

How to fill large holes in wood furniture?

  • Get some Wood Filler: Make sure to use a good wood filler that can be repainted or stained over. Cut the applicator's tip off and push a small amount of putty further into the hole.

  • Smooth it over with a putty knife, but not fully flush with the door's surface. It was difficult to maintain as much filler in the hole as possible because the hole in my door ran all the way through to the opposite side. You don't want to risk using too little, so go ahead and use a lot. Allow this to dry thoroughly before using. You don't have to pack as much on if your gap doesn't go completely across to the other side of the wooden plank, and you may scrape it off a little to make it more even with the rest of the wood.  Allow the filler to dry completely before using it; if you're unsure how long to wait, consult the instructions on the filler bottle. 

  • Put on a mask once the filler is totally dry so you don't take in the dust and sand that has accumulated over the filled hole. It's also a good idea to use gloves to cover your hands and avoid splinters. When sanding down the wood filler, read and follow the grain of the wood. Sanding in the reverse direction of the wood grain will produce obvious scratches in the wood, particularly after repainting or staining.

  • When you're done sanding, use a vacuum to remove all of the sanding remains from the wood. Because you wouldn't want any dust to go through your paint or stain, be more specific than you think.

This is all I know about
