Paul Gandy Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 LAST EDITED ON 23-Mar-03 AT 11:03 PM (GMT)At this stage of my renovation I should know everything...but there is one thing I am having trouble with...I have some floorboards that won't come up without a fight which will break them and so I have kept them and sanded them down and they look great..really great. The problem is that when they were put in they were obviously green wood ( new cut ) and they have shrunk. I now have up to a centimeter of gap between a few of the boards and I want to fill them with something that will not crack a week later. They are a light wood and I am sure it is poplar.... Any ideas? Theres over 100m2.phil...PS I am loving this sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckenzie Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Have you tried mixing the clean sawdust and glue and filling the joints with the mix and resanding it should fill the gaps and also be the same colour, try a test piece first bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljnw27746 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Have you thought of using very thin strips of dark hard wood, tightly fitted between all your planks would look very nice sanded and varnished, just a thought!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
