Below you will find a list of three recipes for covering up damage:

  1. To heal wood wounds, use a solution of mullein and clay, taking them in equal proportions.
  2. If you don't have mullein on hand, you can mix clay with wood ash. The percentage of ash should be half that of clay, and you can add some sand to the mixture for better adhesion.
