Fine filter for Oak

[RichD1]

I’m looking for a coloured fine wood filler for English oak. I’ve got a couple of small gaps where I jointed up two boards to make a worktop.

Years ago I used to have sticks of various brown shades which felt sort of waxy.

Recommendations please?

You can use a neutral wood filler and colour it to suit .

You can mix acrylic paints into 2 pack filler to match the colour, but on the balance of probability, it will crack in time as the oak expands and contracts.

You can used coloured wax sticks and polish them flat. I do not know how water tight they will be though.

Alternatively, the likes of Unika sell coloured waterbased caulks (primarily used for flooring). They will shrink back slightly.

Mapai make a massive colour range of silicone sealants. The silicone is like to repel any finish that you apply though.

Jenkins make a celulose base liquid that you can add sawdust (from your timber) to. It goes off really quickly and can be sanded shortly after. I have no idea if it will deal with the timber movements.

I hope the above helps.

Photos might be useful.
