# How to Use Famowood Filler
Famowood wood filler is designed to fill cracks, gouges and other imperfections in the surface of wood. When it dries, the solvent-based wood filler behaves just like the surrounding wood. You can sand it, paint it or put nails through it. Famowood wood filler comes in a variety of colors to match a variety of species of unfinished wood. Find the right color match and you'll be well on your way to a professional-grade repair.

Open the can of wood filler. Stir the contents. The wood filler should be a smooth consistency. If the Famowood wood filler is old, there may be dried filler floating around. Dissolve these solids before you proceed. Pour Famowood solvent into the wood filler a few drops at a time and then stir thoroughly until the wood filler returns to a liquid consistency.
