Filler for Gaps in Chipboard Floor

Hello,

Is there a filler available that is suitable for filling gaps between chipboards? The fillers at DIY stores all say that they're not suitable for filling gaps in floors. I am about to lay new carpet and don't want the gaps (some approx 1/8", 2mm ish wide) to telegraph through.

 

You could fill the larger holes with expanding foam - cut it flush with the floor when it's gone off.
As long as you use a decent underlay, you shouldn't notice those gaps.

 

Id fill the big hole with papier-mache (newspaper mixed with pva) -ive never tried it but did see something about it in colins DIY book.

 

I`ve just done the same @ home with a 2 part wood filler (like car body filler).......seemed like a good idea

 

why don't you put some hard board down first or start cutting some wood up, and use the saw dust mixed with pva to create a sticky lump, then fill the joints/holes.
