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.

??? You mean joint compound? The white chalk stuff?
Is this hard to make smooth?
Thanks for the quick response.

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.
