    I've used the Timbermate fillers several times, both as a filler and to repair little errors with the router bit. On it's own it's like dry scone dough and doesn't want to stick to anything, but thinned a little bit with water it's great. For filler I brush it on and level off the excess, as suggested by old_picker. For filling gaps I thin it a bit more and mix in some sanding dust from the same timber. As a gap filler it's best to build up a layer at a time, giving the last lot time to dry off a bit. I've found in all cases giving the timber a light rub with a damp rag seems to help it bond. It sands like Spakfilla... very friendly stuff.

    Yeah, mix it with water till creamy like a good thick waterbase paint, brush it in well. The fines in the mix should fill the pores. wipe off the excess cross the grain with a bunched up into a ball bit of Tshirt

    The secret is not to sand it back too aggressively. Take it nice and easy with finish paper say 320.
