No Wood Putty! - A quick tip for fixing 

miter joints

 

If you've ever experienced the frustration of 
discovering that "little gap" on the outside of 
your miter joint, you'll appreciate this quick 
tip.  

Woodworkers often try to hide these gaps 
with wood putties or other fillers, but there's 
a faster and easier way to solve this 
problem.  

 

If the gap is small, you can use the edge of a 
screwdriver to subtly round over the corners. 
The corners will close in and mask the gap. 
The effect is very subtle but effective.
