Filling gaps in maple binding
Posted: Sat Dec 25, 2021 3:43 am
Now and then I use figured maple for binding.
Sometimes little gaps show that need to be filled.
With darker woods it is quite easy to fill gaps invisable. The darker the easier.
But with maple every miscoloring shows.
I tried :
-putty with CA glue, epoxy or wood glue
-inlay with wood chips
-colored shellac stick
Some attempts were ok, but some stayed plain visable as a little flaw.
Do you approach it different or maybe have a golden solution?
I would prefer the latter.
