- See how to make your own wood filler and fix hardwood floor gaps. See before and after pics in video to help you visualize the difference. If you don't have saw dust then use wood putty.
All you need is a putty knife metal or plastic (is preferred so it doesn't scratch the floor), wood stain, wood glue, paper plate, paper towel and saw dust.

Oh my god!!! This is exactly what I needed to watch! I’m so glad I watched this so I didn’t try to do some inexperienced awful looking fix on my floor. I need to put my house on the market asap and now I can!
Wow! So impressed with this video. I just found a gap that I need to fill. Thanks so much!
Nice work, Awesome advice. To the point! Thank You
Now that actually looks good, well done
Thank you so much, I have tried on my hardwood floor and it worked perfectly!
Great contribution, thanks!
This is the one i'm looking for, with the materials that needs to buy.
awesome video, thank you
Wow great video
thank you so much for that! I spent $3500 on hardwood flooring. I let it acclimatise in the house like they said. In (Canadian) winter, the wood dried out a bit and shrunk, opening up cracks and there were some cracks before that happened as all of the boards are not cut perfectly the same size. (There is some variance, in fractions of a millimeter, for example). When I asked about this at the hardware store, they said that that is just part of having hardwood floors! I wish they had told me before.
Don't get me wrong, I love my hardwood floors. I am wondering, however, if this filler will crack as the seasons change. Even if you keep the temperature the same most of the year, the humidity changes quite a bit from humid summers to dry air in winters. (Most people, however, turn their heat down when they are not home or at night when they are sleeping. It's not cheap to heat a home when it is -40 in a Canadian winter!
شكرا لك 🌹👍
And as the wood expands and contracts with the seasons you can do it all again next year
I've found that sanding dust is the best size to use.

Hey, on the off-chance you see this, how is the fix holding up? I have several of these in my house and would love to seal them up.
Did you do it?
@@joseph5080 I have not, sorry. I should though. They're all full of shit and it makes a bunch of noise. 10 month old running around and work I seem to have barely any time left for anything other than the necessities
How long does this last for
How well did it hold up with expansion?
It hasn't cracked or shifted. I didn't use any polyurethane over it. I don't have central hvac humidifier, so my floors do contract a bit. The gap is constant in summer. I am pleased with it holding up so far in winter.
It just looks like dirt in the gaps.
if those gaps were on a new install, would you say that it was a bad install, dont aske me why I am asking .. i have end to end gaps on new install.. ugh.
Any tips on how to fix creaky hardwood floors?
Not many options for creaky floor, except old fashion nails and screws. I would use a 16-18 gauge nail gun with 1.5-2in nails or home depot has "squeek no more" screws.
An architectural engineer who specialized in old houses had me drive regular old hardware store wooden shims between the joists and the floorboards. Works great and dampens some or most of the drum effect. But we have a 120 year house and you can see the floorboards from the basement.
The mixture seems too dark. It extra highlights the gap that you put it in. It was obvious before but now it's VERY obvious.
Woodglut is nice for that.
Before and after pics should have been in the same angle 🤦♂️
