A simple, effective and inexpensive product for minor hardwood floor repair. See BEFORE and AFTER pics:

This Elmer's Wood Fill was a very good solution for filling three pretty deep scratches to a corner slat of our hardwood floors which were made by our new puppy a few years back. Now that the dog is a bit older and no longer in her 'damaging the house' phase, it was time to fill the holes made by her scratching. This Elmer's wood filler was the first product we tried and it turned out to be a fairly simple, effective and economical product to address the gouges. This filler application was easy; filling the voids with the spackle-like consistency of the filler which was squeezed directly from the tube. Getting it out is a bit difficult because of the filler's thickness, but overall that is a good thing because it does the filling job well. The color looks a bit lighter upon application but it dries darker and after a bit of fine grit sanding and some clear polyurethane as a topcoat, the floor looks almost back to normal. The filler takes about eight hours to dry and sets with a chalky consistency that sands off easily. If I were not aware of the scratches inflicted upon that area by our then new mongrel, I probably would not have noticed them and just thought it were the natural grain of the wood. I have attached BEFORE and AFTER pictures for reference. Overall, this a good product for a very reasonable price as long as the area you are filling is not too large. Good luck.
