Always have had a problem finding a filler that will take stain (for pocket holes, for example).  I used a product for the first time today- Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Filler Max- and stained over it.  Best that I have found.  I had to touch up a little over the pocket holes but on the finished product you couldn't see the filler unless you were really looking for it.  Comes in a square plastic tub.  Tom M.

Thanks.  I used it last on cedar and with a lighter stain over it, it worked fine.  The sawdust and glue is an old stand by but sometimes a hassle.  I was looking for a filler that works the best and the Elmer's works better than anything else I've used that was pre-packaged.

It depends on the type of wood you are trying to use this product with.  I was using yellow pine and did not have very good results, a darker colored wood probably would have been ok.  I ended up making my own filler -- sawdust and a little bit of glue -- stain stuck to it and it was only noticeable if you looked pretty close.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
