Product Information
Full details
The Jackson Woodturners Cross Grain Pellets are an essential solution for woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and home renovators looking to achieve a seamless, professional finish on furniture and stair components. These 12.7mm beige pellets are designed to effectively fill unsightly holes, dents, or screw recessions in both hardwood and softwood surfaces, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing repair. While they offer excellent strength and an accurate fit, it is important to note that they come in a fixed beige tone, which may require staining or finishing to perfectly match unique wood grains or darker wood species.

FAQs
Can I paint over these pellets?
Yes, once installed, sanded, and finished, these pellets can be painted or stained like any other wood surface.
What is the diameter of these pellets?
These pellets have a 12.7mm taper for a secure fit in matching holes.
Are these suitable for outdoor furniture?
While they are strong, they are intended for indoor woodwork; if used outdoors, ensure they are sealed thoroughly with exterior-grade finish.
How many pellets are in a pack?
Each pack contains approximately 50 individual pellets.
Do I need to use glue?
Yes, we strongly recommend using a high-quality wood glue to ensure a permanent, rattle-free bond.
Troubleshooting
Pellet sits too high above the surface
Carefully sand the excess material down until it is flush with the surrounding surface.
Pellet feels loose in the hole
The hole may be slightly oversized. Use a small amount of wood filler or a stronger adhesive to secure the pellet in place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a strong, structural fill for dents and holes
- Easy to install due to the tapered design
- Cost-effective solution for multiple wood repairs
- Suitable for both softwoods and hardwoods
Cons
- Fixed beige color may not match dark wood species without further finishing
- Requires proper adhesive application to ensure permanent bonding
- Standard size may not fit non-standard or larger hole diameters
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a professional installation, first verify the hole diameter is consistent with the 12.7mm taper of the pellet. If the hole is too large, the pellet will not seat securely; if too small, you may need to lightly ream the hole.
- Ensure the hole is clean and free of sawdust or debris.
- Apply a thin layer of quality wood glue around the pellet perimeter.
- Insert the pellet and gently tap it home using a soft-faced mallet to avoid damaging the wood surface.
- Allow the glue to dry completely before sanding flush.
Keep the remaining pellets in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption, which could cause them to swell or lose their precision fit.
