not sure but caulk might be better, or other brown wood filler, then you could always seal it in with a thin layer clear aquarium silicone

this has been on the forums a bit recently, really you need to use Aquarium grade silicone which is usually clear, but i Micks idea!  |

cheers GP
just assuming he's wanted it to make joints look better.
i just sold my table saw..DOH!!! so had to use normal circular saw which was nowhere near as neat, so I will be doing something similar to tart up a few of my joints.

| another thing that might be of some use is laminate floor scratch filler stuff. I got some a few years back and is was just like a thick paint in beech or whatever. Could use as filler then seal with clear ;) could possibly make your own using paint and thickening with flour or something. ooooo I love a good bodge lol |

| As Mick said, just want to make the joints look better.I have seen black silicone and thought i might be able to get brown. Had an old jigsaw that vibrated a bit so joints are a bit rough. Good idea mick, i will use filler then clear silicone. Thanks all. |
