Re: Mouldings, trim, and nail holes...
I had white molding that was pre primed. I put white caulk over them, just put a little on your finger and swipe the hole to cover. I then painted with white trim paint.

Ours is white too. Did you have to sand after? I can't imagine that I'll be able to do it smoothly without sanding...and I have the whole house to do!

You can use caulk to fill the holes and a damp cloth or your finger to wipe it smooth before it dries. No sanding necessary.

And I can paint right over that?

Exactly. It was so quick to do too. Just pop some in quick and wipe it with your other hand or a wet papertowel to smooth.

As long as it it smooth (and dry), you can paint right over it.

Re: Mouldings, trim, and nail holes...
if you are painting it shouldn't matter but if you are staining a word of warning wood putty shows no matter how much you sand it! What a PITA-it is not noticeable to anyone else but it drives me crazy when I see it

Re: Mouldings, trim, and nail holes...
Rich always uses Glazing putty, it's very easy to use, fills holes quickly & wipes right off moulding. And it doesn't shrink after it hardens. If you roll up a small blob of it in your hand & press it into the holes then immediatly wipe the excess with a rag it comes out perfect. No mess. This is what it looks like.

Kelly, that is what my moulding guy said to do...so I went out and bought it, but globbed it on thinking I could just sand it after it dried. Well, it took a week to dry and now its VERY hard to get off!

Re: Mouldings, trim, and nail holes...
oh no...you don't wait for it to dry. You just wipe it smooth as you go, then let it harden. I put the blob in one hand & the rag in the other & do it all at once.
