Hello,
Working on an old beam that was a Jacobean wood colour – it’s an old beam with some gnashes and holes and bits in – the plan to make the beam white and lovely – we have primed over it to prepare it but there are holes and gnashes purely down to facet that it is an old beam.
My questions are:

My questions are:
- Could i use wood filler like Ronseal to fill these holes?
- Should i treat the beam after the woodfiller and if so what should i use?
- The sides of the bean are awful due to old paint stuck there an dvery difficult to erase it and don’t want to use heat lamp – have tried scraping but not goo – could i apply caulk down each side to tidy it up? If so could I then paint the caulk with whatever paint i use or would it be best to leave caulk white?
