What happens here

Super glue can double as a quick-drying wood filler. To fill small cracks, nicks, dings, or other imperfections in wood, apply the CA glue directly into the area. Then, spray the accelerator over the glue to instantly cure it. Once dry, the filled area can be sanded smooth to create a seamless surface. For deeper imperfections, multiple coats of super glue and accelerator can be built up and then sanded. This method provides a paintable surface that blends well with existing trim.

Goal: Discover how super glue can be effectively used as a sandable wood filler for small cracks, nicks, or dings in molding and trim.
