I am using wood filler to repair the gnawed edges of my window sill .

KMS Woodworks on Oct 16, 2011you can often wet the putty knife to get a smoother finish....apply the filler so it is just above the level of the existing wood..after the filler has fully dried / cured it can be sanded flush...depending on how deep the damage is you may need to apply a couple of coats...some filler will shrink and crack when applied too thick.Helpful Reply

Delores G on Oct 16, 2011Great response---dampen the putty knife. I should have thought about that! Like icing a cake!Helpful Reply

Ricardo B on Oct 16, 2011I like that icing analogy... Remember, crumb layer, working layer, then finishing layer. Sand down gradually...Helpful Reply

Inspection Connection, LLC on Oct 16, 2011Delores, Apply wood filler to fill the holes, let it harden and sand. You might have to do it twice to get a smooth service. After sanding clean and paint.Helpful Reply
