Modern fillers have a polymer base making them much more flexible than old water-based wood putties. The hole looks about 1/4 inch or so and seems to be wider underneath than on top, making for a captive plug. I think the risk is small, and the effort to remove a board in the middle of the floor and replace with a new one that is properly set in may be beyond the skill of many DIYers. If tackled by a very skilled craftsman, I agree that board replacement is a more permanent solution. | |

Its allot of work but it the best solution (and in the back of my mind I would have nightmares waiting for the wood filler to crack again.. arr) | |
