I am getting ready to put down some oak quarter-rounds, which I plan to
stain and varnish with satin poly. However, I have never been too thrilled
with the wood fillers that my local Home Depot sells, which is a Borden
brand. The filler is for, of course, filling the nail holes.
Can anyone give me a recommendation on the best wood filler for this
application. Any advice on doing a first class job would be appreciated,
too.
how about colored wax sticks....mjh

The least obtrusive way to handle the nail holes in something like quarter
round (room perimeter?) is to set them and forget them. Filler pucky will
never be the right color and will attract your eye more than a neat job of
nailing.

If possible, shoot the brads in the dark grain of the oak. It is a lot
less noticeable when you use the filler. I did this on mine and used
regular oak filler, it all blends in well. Mark
