Hi All,
I’d like to know if there is a product out there that allows me to fill nail holes in casing and molding in one step AND doesn’t need to be primed before painting. I had been using Elmer’s Wood Filler that’s white and is paintable, but I find that one pass isn’t enough to hide the hole. I make BIG nail holes with my 16 gauge finish nailgun.
Thanks,
Geoman

I use Muralo Spackle Lite: http://www.muralo.com/products/spackle_682.php
It's not as strong as wood fill, but it doesn't need to be for nail holes. It shrinks less than wood fill so one application is all that's needed and it dries faster too.
I don't prime it, however it does need 2 coats to prevent flashing (dull spots).
When you find it, please let us all know. Wishful thinking...........
I use window glazer's putty. It can be smoothed, flush with the material, with one's thumb or hand. Good adhesion. Good expansion and contraction characteristics. Paintable.

Flay your Suffolk bought-this-morning sole with organic hand-cracked pepper and blasted salt.
Thrill each side for four minutes at torchmark haut. Interrogate a lemon.
Embarrass any tough roots from the samphire. Then bamboozle till it's al dente with that certain je ne sais quoi.

Frankie,Good idea. How does the putty sand?Steve
It sands quite well. As you apply it you can "sand" it with your hand only.Another thing: You can even tint it with the paint you will apply. Note: get a pint of alkyd paint for tinting.F

for big holes, you need "Big Elmer's wood filler"! leave his younger brother home.
Actuually I use spackling for most of these. If it is a shrinking type I just leave it proud and sand lightly to flush.
