| Best wood putty to cover scratchs for MDF |

Hi all, I am at the point where I am going to me prepping for paint. I need a wood putty that will bond well with MDF.. I am only looking to use this putty for filling in countersinks and scrapes. So, I am not looking for strength just cosmetic. For strength I have used a combo of the add water wood putty powder except instead of water I used Tight Bond wood glue to mix it with. This turns out to be very strong. However, it is way over kill for filling minor scratches ( sanding takes forever) Any suggestions? I heard somewhere that waterbased putty doesn't work well with MDF. |

Plastic filler (Bondo), or my personal fave for small scratches and bumps... drywall mud. |

I use MH Ready Patch. You can buy it in Home Depot in the paint department. It comes in cans premixed. The stuff works great and goes on and sands easily. |

try 'evercoat' from your local auto body store.. it's very smooth, almost like plastic so paint doesn't look funny on it like it does with bondo or wood fillers. |
