HANDYMAN TIPS
Caulking
- Use adhesive acrylic caulk. It won't stick to water.
- Cut the container plug a quarter from the top in a 45 degree angle
- Very slowly move the gun in the direction you want to go and push in that angle so this caulking goes back into that crack. Don't squeeze too hard
- While you are caulking clean up excess mess with a damp rag
- A mouse can come through a hole the size of a pencil eraser
- A quick temporary solution is to use a real oak plug. Place glue around it and put it into the ground. Be careful not to put too much glue on it
- If you wanted a more permanent fix, go to any floor company and ask them to remove the board and replace it. Do not attempt to do it yourself
- Use all purpose joint compound
- Use a knife, let it flex and it will push it into the hole
- Use only a little bit. There is no need to go overboard
- Wipe off the excess. It dries quickly. Then apply a second coat. You may need additional coats depending on the hole
- When you put a final coat on it, take a damp sponge and wipe it off the excess. After it dries it will be ready to paint
