Renewing Molding


Posted by skip on January 26th, 2005 09:29 AM

I acquired some previously used wood crown molding. It is, and will be, painted white when I re-use it. It had been installed with drywall screws thus there are countersunk holes the size of a screwhead about every 16".

I want to fill in these holes and repaint it. I would like to use a patching material that is durable yet dries hard and is relatively easy to sand. Since it is on a curved surface it will have to be sanded by hand.

I thought of water putty but it drys so hard that each hole would take quite a bit of sanding to smooth it out.

Plaster of Paris? Wood putty? Spackling compound? Other? I'd appreciate your thoughts....
