Elmer's Carpenter Wood Filler
I've been using this stuff for a couple of decades at least, for interior and exterior projects, such as filling nail holes on door frames.
When applying, one coat does the trick for small defects, while two or more coats may be necessary for large holes/defects. It can even be used on an outside corner if there is a rough surface for it to stick. The general idea is to apply slightly more than needed to cover the defect, then sand it flush when it dries. Once dry, it has a consistency similar to very soft pine, so it sands easily.
If stained, it won't look exactly like the surrounding wood, as it has a different consistency and no grain. But at least the stained color will be close, as contrasted to non-stainable wood filler products, which stick out like a sore thumb on stained wood. As with ANY wood filler, sand the area just patched to be even with the adjacent surface level. If staining, sanding should be sufficient to remove filler residue on surrounding areas, as wood filler residue alters stain absorption. If all residue hasn't been removed from the surrounding area, that will become apparent when stain is applied, since that area will be lighter or blotched. The time to fix it so it blends in properly, is right then - i.e., sand it while the stain is still wet, and re-stain. This residue issue is similar to what happens if wood glue gets onto an area to be stained. Another example: if you buy wood from a store that uses bar-code labels, you'll need to thoroughly remove the glue residue from that label, before staining.
If painting the project, all you need to do is sand the patch flush, to hide the blemish.
All wood fillers begin drying out the minute the container is opened. When Elmer's dries out noticeably, simply add a small amount of water and stir. E.g., spray water in the container; drain to remove all excess water; then mix. There doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of times this wood filler can be brought back to life, as long as you don't let it really dry out; at which point, it's useless. Products that use a chemical liquid thinner, such as Plastic Wood, are much more expensive, as you have to buy that chemical to use when the wood filler dries.
Tool clean-up is simple; just use water.
This wood filler neither shrinks nor expands, which is how it should behave. E.g., Plastic Wood occasionally expands after the project is done, leaving the filled area above the surrounding surface.
I've tried many other wood fillers and keep coming back to Elmer's. It works well, is inexpensive, is water based, sands easily, and doesn't shrink or expand.
