(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best wood filler

I've actually used these before with pretty good results in a similar situation (rental home).

Before you tear anything out, buy some PC Petrifier Wood Hardener and PC Woody epoxy wood filler. Remove the paint, drill some holes in the rotted sections and let them dry thoroughly. Apply the hardener with a paint brush making sure to soak it in as much as possible. Once it dries, the wood will be solid. Fill the holes and missing wood with the wood filler, then repaint. Good as new!

If you aren't looking to replace it you might be able to get away with covering it up with something. Like a corner protector.

You could use wood filler to rebuild the corner, then use these to try and paint back the wood grain, then top it off with something like varnish or nail polish to match the gloss.

I found this oil based Color Putty. I was hoping to find something that hardened, but I like the color-match capability of this set. Will this perhaps work?

Then there is soft wax and marker:

And hard wax that requires heating

Lastly, I have water putty so should I just start with that, and blend it with my my Mohawk markers?

I already have a few colors that I have used for scratches. I have just never filled in a chunk.

You can sand back down to the bare wood again and start over, but it'll be a little work. Couple notes though:

• You can only stain/dye things to be darker than they already are. If your filler is already too dark, you need to buy lighter filler.
  
  
• If you want to make the wood darker than the filler, then you have to stain/dye the guitar before applying the filler... otherwise you'll just stain/dye the filler at the same time as you're coloring the rest of the guitar. Applying filler before color only works if you want the filler darker than the wood. Also, the color in the filler will color the rest of your wood if you haven't already sealed it.
  
  
• I have never dyed my own filler. My advice would be to spend $15 on the right wood filler (something like https://www.amazon.com/Timbermate-White-Hardwood-Wood-Filler/dp/B001NV4VG4 ) and $10 on a 15mL sample bottle of dye (such as http://www.woodessence.com/ColorFX-Dye-Individual-Bottles-P46C12.aspx ), which is more dye than you'll ever need for one guitar. It's always easier to use the right materials instead of trying to force the wrong materials to do something they were never meant to do.

I'm in Germany, so could only recommend European products. We use a lot of Liberon stuff. Here's what I found on Amazon.com.
touch up pen and [wax filler] (http://www.amazon.com/Liberon-Wax-Filler-Stick-Light/dp/B00YI0JTDW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1462210128&sr=8-3-fkmr1&keywords=liberon+hard+wax+filler)

You might want to take a look at something like CrystaLac.

Same look, smooth surface.

What about something like:

PC Petrifier Water Based

As /u/always_down_voted says, get some wood filler, spread it on, let it dry, sand it flat and paint over it. Something like this should work: http://www.amazon.com/Elmers-Products-E847-Carpenters-Interior/dp/B000H5OQIU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1397232472&sr=8-5&keywords=wood+putty

This is a long shot, but might possibly work. You've got nothing to lose, right?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H5VOR6

Should bond it together so you can sand it.

One alternative from Amazon:

Are we just talking about something like this?

I have no idea about any of this stuff, lol.

Look in the wood working supplies and get a hard wax filler stick. Here is an example at Amazon. You can warm up the wax with your fingertips and get it pliable.

Fill in the holes and polish off any excess with a soft cloth.

can you just replace that little corner of stucco?
no...

I've wondered about this myself. There is a color-changing wood putty made my Elmer's that fits this description: https://www.amazon.com/Elmers-E913-Carpenters-8-Ounce-Natural/dp/B00K25F1WK/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1502615096&sr=1-1&keywords=color+change+wood+putty

That is the stuff I use but I hear most any putty based wood filler will work

8 bucks.

Here are some links for the product in the above comment for different countries:

was wondering if a simple sanding and application of elmer's carpenter's wood filler in white would do the trick

https://www.amazon.com/Elmers-E855-Carpenters-Filler-3-25-Ounce/dp/B000BQM72C

I remember buying some clay-like stuff, for the woods scratches etc, and there was a pen that followed with it. Now, I am not the most artistic, but I somehow matched the shade and the color, and after a few weeks of just staying there, it blended in eventually. It is still visible, but not eye-popping, you have to literally squat down and see it. I’ll try to find that thing. And because it’s a little scratch, it’s not worth to change the planks because of it.

EDIT: This is the closest thing I could find. Obviously not ideal, but if you have that artistic side or can work with colors, I believe you’ll make wonders with it! ;)

I have the same desk and have a spot or two where I ruined the veneer as well. I’m thinking this might help and I’m ordering some for myself soon

The Lack coffee table won't stand up to much abuse. Coasters are imperative ... getting it wet at all more than a quick wipe-down will ruin it if you have any scratches or nicks in the surface. It is solid and will stay together, but the finish is laminate over particle. If you get a scratch or a nick, use the wax crayon type of thing to fill/color it in immediately, like these: http://www.amazon.com/Guardsman-500300-Filler-Sticks-Shelf-Tray/dp/B0057IV5PY

Don't use sharpie or the markers they make to cover scratches. Those don't keep out moisture. My Lack coffee table would have lasted a lot longer if I'd figured this out sooner. I recycled it into a window bench/cat bed by covering the ruined top with an upholstered cushion.
