Plywood voids

[Jack Fish]

What do others use to fill voids in their plywood?  I am doing a project with 1/4 BB ply and came across a long streak of absent material in the core.  Is good 1 side (G1S) regularly only good on its face?

With the void my project will have an exceptional weak point.  I was going to use wood filler but I dont think its really what I need.  Maybe white glue mixed with sawdust?

Thanks,

Jack

Yes  white glue mixed with sanding powder...not sawdust. Sawdust it too coarse. 

[Jack Fish]

Sanding powder?  Never heard of it before.  Is that just from sifting through my work dust or is that a purchased product?

When I scroll I sometimes collect the dust in little plastic bags. I have bags of ash, walnut, cherry, and bloodwood. I use them for fillers as Jim suggested.

I did use two ways.
1) woodglue with fine sawdust of the just cut project
mix it to a fille and push it in.

2) 2 second glue (transparent) and the same sawdust.
add a drop of glue in to the hole and the tap some sawdust on it.
(use a plastic disposable spoon or little scrap wood)
CAREFUL NOT TO KEEP YOU FINGER ON IT! IT WILL STICK TO IT!!

By sanding powder I meant dust collected from an orbital sander.

Sorry for the delay in getting back.. Thanks for the info.  The dust from the orbital was very easy to work with and I now collect the dust into baggies.  Marked of course.

Thanks!
