how do i fill in gaps in wood on a cabinet?

Answer 1

U could use 'wood fillers' appl them n then sand them off. the wood filler feels lyk power. it fills up the gaps. u can find them in any D.I.Y stores.

Answer 2

I would agree with the "doc." There are different ways to make furniture repairs when filling gaps. Good advice for one problem may not be good advice for a different issue. One thing for sure though, don't use Elmer's or other powdered putty. It won't hold long enough to qualify as a true repair. There are several products on the market that can be used. There are wax-based fillers that match the color of the wood. It's intended for very small cracks or gaps because it can be buffed after it dries and will even match the sheen on the furniture piece. But it's not good for large gaps, etc. Also, some repairs are best done without using any filler.
I'd suggest you contact a qualified person for help, especially if you value the cabinet.

Answer 3

Could you possibly add some details? IE: define gaps and their locations?

Seams where cabinets BUTT together? Gouges in the wood surface?
