Hi guys,
just started out woodworking and just stumbled onto this forums so i wondered anyone can help.
i made a cantilevered chair which in fact is pretty solid when u sit on it but no doubt there would still be a little flexing when u sit down.
i'm about to paint finish the chair and before that i would have to filler and sand down the joints nail head holes etc and was wondering if there is such a thing as a flexible filler where it can take on a little stress when someone sits on the chair. the flex is not much, i just need something to be able to withstand hairline cracks when u sit on it. (imagine u sit down then u see a hairline crack and get off the cantilever the crack covers back)
i thought of veneering the chair but because there are curves everywhere and i would need probably one sheet of 8 x 4 sheet of veneer alone to do 1 chair, ( i wanna make 4 for my dining room) that makes painting it or spray finishing it a more cheaper option.
any suggestions?
cheers
Joel

what i had in mind of filling is the edge of a piece of 18mm plywood so that it would be filled to the extent that it will be not look like an exposed 18mm plywood edge and i'm painting over it.
