Re: Woodputty and Stain
Using stain over unfilled nailholes may result in the stain wicking
into the end grain of the hole. You will have dark spots. I've been
seeing writings on gel stains which may be less blotchey.

Staining over most putties will not result in color matching. When
all else fails , paint the unmatched areas with thinned enamels or
lacquers and a VERY tiny brush (almost dry ) and then overcoat with a
suitable sealer.

If these are small defects then finish everything and get several cans of Color Putty in colors close to the table's color. Sold in little plastic jars. Mix these colors together to match the finish. Staining over most putties will not result in color matching. When all else fails , paint the unmatched areas with thinned enamels or lacquers and a VERY tiny brush (almost dry ) and then overcoat with a suitable sealer.

FBBB,
I've put my wood butchery to work by building a dining room table.
Without the benefit of epoxy joinery there are some gaps and nail
holes that will need to be filled before the table is finished.
How do I make sure that the wood putty and the wood (maple) come out
the same color when they are stained. Stain first, then match the
color of the putty? Putty first, then stain both?
YIBB (and table building too)
