 Cheap wood Filler.

Tubes of wood filler are WAY too expensive.
I discovered if you mix sawdust in with regular old school glue, this stuff works great, perhaps better.
It's for your heath.

Depends what you are using the filler for.
On a surface to be painted it works well. On a surface to be stained, not so much. The glue will not accept stain the same way wood does and as a result you may have lighter areas. The darker the stain, the more noticeable it will be.

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

plastic wood filler wont take stain either leaving you to buy either
a pretinted filler which may not match your project or to mix your own
either using the wood filler or saw dust/glue and stain, again it may
not match your project
Elmer's Probond is stainable

Also if you are going to be using sawdust make sure it is very very fine. if you don't then the surface will be rough and porus. The sawdust has to be nearly powder like. Just buy the carpenters glue which is stainable and already has wood fibers in it.

sometimes you dont have it when you need it... I've never used wood
filler, I've used wood shavings to fill a small gap or, cut plugs
to fill small holes, if I'm working on something that may require a
nail or screw then it's carpentry, everything else I do is joinery
and it's rare I even use glue in those instances

Professional trim carpentry. Nail guns. Thousands of little tiny holes. Just saying.
For stained work I use color putty to match after staining. Much better than any filler, stainable, sawdust or otherwise.

I dont do trim unless I have to and that's usually on large jobs with a
lot of wood, for that I use wood and an aniline dye in the finish, a
toothpick sized sliver dipped in dyed shellac, trimmed flush and life is
easy, it beats trying to match mahogany with golden oak and cherry putty

He's whining that commercial wood filler is too expensive and you come up with that? I don't know what your time is worth or what you do but that is, I think, more than a bit off topic. Did you think he was making Japanese puzzle boxes?

shellac = cheap
aniline dyes = cheap
sliver of wood = free from scrap of the crap you're working with
since you mentioned stain grade trim anyway... the plus side of aniline
dyes is they penetrate the wood evenly and dont leave mottling from
pigments behind since they arent pigment based and it sure as hell beats
the fuck out of having a dark spot from some crappy filler every 8 inches
in the nail holes

Of course it's sandable.
And pris, the components may be cheap but the time to go through all that is not. You say you use a sliver of wood but doesn't that put an end grain in the middle of a surface grain? Isn't that itself somewhat visible?
And wood filler is cheap.

unlike with stains the aniline dies will absorb into end grain the same
as it does in face grain, when mixed with the finish you're using
everything is consistent...
I'm in the process of putting my shop together now that I have a little
down time, as soon as I find the dyes I'll post a few pics of how it works
assuming the dies didnt go the way half my tools did

Free is better than $5 ANYDAY.
As I said, I also found it to work even better than the commercial product.
...Finally I don`t think you should be flaming people who are simply trying to participate in a new forum. One, that I really appreciate coming to be.
I am not a professional, I just have shit to fix. There is nothing wrong with me.

What flame, Mary? And sawdust and glue isn't free, you have to buy the glue and spend time doing it. I'm a professional. My time is money. Time spent fiddle fucking around mixing glue and properly sorted sawdust to save $3 is, in my professional opinion, a piss poor allocation of a limited time resource. But if your time is worthless then burn it up all you want.
