How to fill hole in a table?

[nameisme]

Hi all

Anyone know how and what I need to fill in this hole in this table? And how I make it smoothe?

Its a hollow table mostly and I have filled the hole in with filler but it still keeps dipping in and can't get it level and its not smoothe.

What should I do or use to get it level and smoothe?

Should I reapply anither layer of filler once that first one has dried but then how do I make it smoothe. I was using one of those smoother scraper things but it kept going in as ofcourse its a bit hollow the table.

Did you use 2 pack wood filler?

No I just used all purpose filler. But I have bought some wood filler today and will try that. As when I press it now it presses in and ofcourse it's uneven.

Dig out.
Maybe put something inside to firm up.
I guess it depends if it's hollow.
2 pack wood filler is very hard so you need to be tidy with your filling
