I fill a lot of nail holes on paint grade trim and my favorite method to date is the drydex but only in a tube. You don’t have to worry about the material drying out or the crappy lid and it goes a long way. The tube allows you to control the amount of material on your finger tip very well and you can easily smash in the amount the fill the hole, then wipe away the excess and I immediately follow up with a light feathered wipe over top of the filled hole to accommodate shrinkage. Even a small room will usually be ready to start sanding by the time I would my way around to my starting point. After that the key is a 1/4 sheet of 3M gold 180 grit. It removes the material in a couple of light swipes, it leaves a very smooth finish without the over sanding divot, and it doesn’t gum up at all. One 1/4 of a sheet goes a very long way. With 18 gauge nail holes or smaller I typically am good to go in one pass, a 15 gauge hole will still often require 2 coats.

Interesting video. I don't know any professional who fills holes with a finger. RockHard is hugely popular among NYC contractors, and I've been using it for decades. Yes, you have to mix, but I love that I get to control the consistency, depending on the hole's size. But mostly, I love the product's shelf life. It NEVER dries out. It can sit on the shelf for years and still be perfectly usable. I also LOVE how easy it is to sand once dry. It even sands beautifully with 600 grit paper around gentle edges. I also love how quick drying it is. And, you can add color to it for custom color work. I can't recommend RockHard enough.

Surely some dabs of liquid nails, spaced about as far apart as you’d install regular nails, will keep the baseboard attached to the wall just as well, but without the need to patch and sand? Especially once you caulk the baseboard to the wall, it won’t be going anywhere.

Very good video. Out of curiosity why not use drywall mud? I know that sounds different but I have always used a quick dry 45 or 90 on my nail holes and I’ve never had an issue with them bleeding through. They finish off completely flush. No shrinkage, it works perfect
@thunderlipsjoe216
Жыл бұрын
Mud expands more like sheetrock, wood expands and contacts more than mineral based surfaces. 2nd reason is adhesive, drywall patch has less adhesive than spackle so it sands more easily and more evenly. So, spackle sticks better to wood and finished surfaces as most trim has at least a semi gloss finish, ie more adhesion needed and is more crack resistant. The negative to basic spackle is harder to sand. The higher end ones (MH DP and the one his paint store recommended) have finer aggregate and different adhesives so they get the better stick without being as much of a bitch to sand as wood filler (wood filler =elmur's glue + sawdust)

I’ve been a landlord for over 35 years, and have had great success with Ready Patch. I do one coat, slightly overfilled, and sand with a damp sanding sponge. Slightly wetting the sponge makes the sanding much easier, and gives a smooth finish. I also put a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the open can, then add the lid; make sure the lid is on tight, and the product will stay soft.

I'm honestly shocked by the MH results. I wonder if they changed the formulation? For decades I've MH has always been my go to on ANY type of wood patching that isn't caulkable. The oil base has just always had better adhesion than anything else on painted surfaces while remaining incredibly easily sandable. I'll def try out the dynapatch. Can you run a test with larger bruises...ie simulate like pet scratches & hammer/furniture divots? That's where MH generally shines curious how DP performs. Also curious how DP performs on finished semi/high gloss paint surfaces. All trim I install I pre paint with semi or high gloss before install so all I gotta do is nail patch and touch up paint post install.

When doing trim work, i set the nailer at about a 1/32” depth from the surface, give baseboards one coat of finger applied drydex and two on door casings, rarely sanding. The results are always good. If you crawl around on your hands and knees, you might be able to spot a nail here and there from certain angles, but not when you’re standing or sitting. I’m not knocking anyone who wants a perfect job, but i fail to see the point of the extra work. As well, trying to find every white filled nail hole on a white baseboard and then finding them all again to sand is a major pain in the butt.

Nice video thanks for info, I find all your videos very helpful. I am a long time painter and please realize it also matters what wood/substrate you apply your filler to. Ideally hard woods or metal you want a harder filler and soft woods a softer filler. A soft filler on a hardwood especially if hand sanding will dig out the filler during sanding. A hard filler on soft wood and the wood around the hole will sand away before the filler. At least that’s what I was taught long ago, I would love to see a test that accounted for this.

Interesting results for the Drydex compared to your last test video where you said it did well on the nail holes. I think it depends on the sanding as it’s really easy to oversand. I found a good method for the Drydex with no sanding, but takes a light touch, is: using finger or knife, fill hole and wipe off all sparkle around the hole. It’s ok if the hole is slightly under filled. Second fill, do the same thing. With a light touch I have got perfect results from that. It’s either that, or use the Dynapatch, but it will take a little muscle sanding it.

Love your videos ! Your fun to watch. As a trim carpenter….I find the best way is to minimize your holes by using a stud finder and nailing in the profile so you don’t see them. Then use a bit of Color matched caulk to fill the line where the nail is. I pre spray all my base before install. Flat stock trim I tend to pre spray and glue on with an instant bonding system so I have no nails to deal with at all. I use a 21 gauge Brad nailer for standard trim and an 18 gauge for premium trim 5/8” and up. 1-9/16” brads always to stay away from waterlines etc

I started housepainting in 1977 and we always kept a ball of Dap 33 glazing compound in out shirt pocket to fill nail holes. Press it in with your thumb and run your putty knife under your thumb and the hole was filled. If the putty got a little dry you rolled it around in your palms and the oil from your skin and the heat would soften it. If it was too soft and oily some dust made it more workable. I think it's kind of silly that zero evidence of a fastener is what people expect today - most people never get down to look at the basebaord anyway.

I have seen them in our houses sometimes when scheduling gets messed up, or we had materials not on hand and have to go back in to do loose ends, and I THINK they are just caulking the nail holes. (those are 21's though, not 18 gauge.) (this is obviously not a high end painter, but it's what I am seeing working for a large builder). Also, I really would have said WHAT nails you were shooting. Are those 18's? Because my sense is that nail size matters a lot for quality of fill, and obviously, while I don't expect you to fire every possible nail just for my benefit, it would be nice to know what the holes you are trying to fill actually are.

@blaster-zy7xx you put in enough spackle to fill the hole, plus a little more to allow for shrinkage, then you and it down. If you use putty instead of spackle, then you can just level it off and leave it. Not that hard. Like I said, using spray paint was useless and pointless. If it's raw wood, you will prime it after you sand it, then do two coats of finish. You're not going to see imperfections if you do it that way.

@@michaeldiffey3791 That's pretty much the way I have always done it. But I never nail raw wood trim if it will be painted. I always prime and paint all trim first, then cut and install the trim, then caulk edges and fill the nail holes, then one last touch up coat of paint. I have never done two coats of filler on trim, that seem excessive. but I will do it on cabinetry. Thanks for your input.

Im surprised you didn't try Dap Painters Putty '53' . Usually 1 coat , paint within 30 minutes with latex paint despite directions. Doesn't shrink , roll in a ball half the size of a marble and wipe over nail holes to fill. A pass with a knife and done.

Finger press is best. No sanding required. If there's any grain on the surface all of your knifed and sanded patches will show through the paint.

Great vid. How about a comparison on shelf life of products? A lot of filler hardens in the packaging and that is extremely frustrating.

I've always used spackle, but my painters use UGL Glazol elastic glazing compound, no sanding. I was flipping a house and couldn't get the trim right (trying to guess where the floor leveling was going to be) and it looked like I shot it with a shotgun. When they got finished it was perfect. I've since used it, you have to roll it around in your hand to get it pliable and push into to hole with thumb twisting a little as you remove excess. And did i say no sanding.

@@TheFunnyCarpenter There aren't many options to fix that. I could use a drill bit to try to remove each little spot and then repatch them all 😲 The only saving grace is that the patch used was lighter than the stain color so I've invested in every shade of stain marker and we're doing a coloring project. Lol Plus the same guy attached all the trim using six or seven nails per foot so removing it without destroying things is next to impossible as well.

Keep in mind if you're a homeowner you don't want to use a hard to sand product because you will use to much and sanding will be miserable! 1. Fill nail holes and sand 2. Prime wood then check for holes that need to be filled!

You missed one: FamoWood 40042144 Latex Wood Filler. It's water soluble, dries in 15 min, comes in multiple shades (colors) and container sizes. I use my finger to press it into the holes and corners and use 220 grit paper to knock it down or form it to the shape of the molding. Leave it a little bit "proud" and you never have to use a 2nd application. If you pick a color that is in the same neighborhood as the paint, one coat covers it.

Great video all on point! My number 1 now in the cabinet refinishing world - dynapatch for sure. But secretly the best product to use on trim work - is 🤫🤫🤫 Sherwin Williams blue container “Spackle” very easy to sand and very high density when dry. 2 coat application though. But dries relatively fast.
