Large wood gaps.

[mpham13]

Hello, Is there a way I can fill in large wood gaps in pine, it is almost 1/16 wide. Owner want's it filled in and then painted with a yellow/grayish color. Some other company/old owner tried filling the crack's with concret but there was still gaps in other places. And the new owner doesn't want to install new wood. Thanks

You might try a trowelable wood filler.

Whats the relative humidity in there? Could be all they need is a humidifier, if not then do what Maven said.

Laughing....... wait till it pops out. A 1/16 gap is not abnormal in a dry climate/winter.

Not at all . It gets real dry here on the east coast .

A humidifier should do the trick .

wide pine?---around here you can lose a pencil in the gaps in february and its tight as can be in august---i do like the idea of suggesting other things you should never patch a wood floor besides cement----ashes----maple syrup---asphalt---candy corn

He never said the cement didn't work. I don't see why feather finish wouldn't do the job, given the dimensional stability of the floor of course.
