Great
dam
Thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for the tip!
There are projects on how to do this on the Stodoys plans website.
Bad idea for application where the edge will be exposed to moisture. The sparkle will just fall apart. Better to use bondo instead.
dude that is amazing.
A MUCH easier, faster and better way is iron on edge banding.
Short and simple advise! Thank you!!
Is that "spakle" or "spekle" or something like that?
What about routed edges, and can you stain it?
Nice

What is the name of Filler? Can you name a recommended brand sir
Oop..there it is! Thanks!
My husband uses these plans from Stodoys plans and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!
Is this cheaper than putting thin solid wood?
Wowsers. Thanks now I can finish my kreggs jig closet build.
thx… may i know sir if what is the white paint that you put… thank you
Spackle is material for the walls right? Not originally for wood. But i understand it is better to use it on wood because it dries faster. Cheaper..
This time I will use Woodglut plans for this.
So simple.
Spackle works great for hiding nails when painting trim molding. Lightly set your nails, spackle, sand and paint. Been using this trick for decades.
I do this with MDF
I’m spraying clear cellulose lacquer on Baltic birch over lacquer sanding sealer. I need a clear filler.
This is great to know, thank you.
is it like wood putty? or can I use the wall putty for this?
Good idea, but can I buy this stuff in Germany? Would you please spell the name. It would be a great help for me. Thanks a lot.
I promise you, the edges will show over time. The plies expand and contract seasonally, and also at different rates than the ones they’re glued next to. Give it 4 seasons and your edges will telegraph right through that spackle. Just edge band and be done with it.
On plywood which type putty can apply?
Straight to the point.
you saved my time.
Would the same apply for gel stain as well? I would assume yes.
Wow, you just saved me a ton of money! Thanks for that!
Bless you!!
What is the name of White coloured material ?
Mind blown
how does it hold up over time? kitchen cabinet door edges?
Edge banding machine is right style to make it
This is so awesome!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
excellent job!
WTF is Spackle for UK people? Just regular white painter’s filler?
Is spackle the same product as “joint compound”
Thanks
Had to watch about 6 videos for this information😅. Glad I found your video Thank you.
This seems to be a very good idea for those edges / projects that won’t be under a great deal of use or stress. Spackle, while having some flex, is more like plaster than wood. It will not bend as well, expand and contract as wood does. If such an edge is struck (say by the back of a chair) it will crack and flake, rather than dent.
If your project is something which is more to be looked at more than "used" (picture frame / decorative shelving), this looks like a very nice trick to put in your "bag". But if you’re making something that will undergo some wear and tear (drawers) and/or undergo temperature changes, I’d recommend a filler that was made for wood.
Thanks for this. I was going to use those iron on edge veneers. Will the spackle hold up in the long run once painted?
