I recall reading, but I can't remember where, that the new Titebond III might make a good glue to mix with cork dust to create a filler. My questions is whether it dries clear like some other wood glues or if it ends up white.

Larry,
You are absolutly correct. I want to talk to Putter about this in Charlotte. I just got done making a mess with Titebond III and cork. As for now I am going to stick with golden oak plastic wood until I learn something better.

Thanks Putter. I wondered what adhesive you were using. My guess would be that any epoxy would work OK. (I don't use the 5 min. stuff)

Usually need to add a bit of titanium dioxide to get the color closer to matching, though.

I use super glue and sawdust. Apply a little super glue to the void then pack in sawdust using a dental pick.
