Anyone know of a source for tubes of wood putty? I see LV used to
have some, but they are down to one color. What about getting some
large syringes and storing the different colors of it in them? It's
such a pain when you are doing a bit of putting to have to close the
can up all the time to prevent it drying out. Plus, with a syringe
you could just squirt a bit right into the hole, then smooth in with a
knife. What would be *really* cool was a squeeze tube with a firm
rubber smoother built in - then you could just squeeze some on and
smooth it over.
Lastly, I was told not to use my fingers to spread putty if I wanted
to have any fingerprints left. Seems to me it's the most efficient
way to do curved puttying. Any thoughts?

Walmart has the tubes too. They're Elmers. They make 'em for light wood,
dark wood and natural. They cover up a lot of my mistakes :-)

That's what I've got the wreck for!

HD has tubes of putty; I have been happy with them.
I believe the Borg has them. You'll probably find that unless you use the
putty right away, it will harden in the syringe.
