I tried to secure a loose floor board using the system where you insert a screw and snap it off. Well, it didn't work and I now have a 5/32" hole in the floor. The floor is finished. I know several ways I could patch this hole if I wanted to refinish the area (epoxy and sawdust, wood putty), but it would be nice if I didn't have to go to that much trouble. (And if I did that the resulting area of mismatched finish would probably look worse than the hole.)
I'm wondering if the wax fillers would hold up. (I could pack the hole with something more substantial first like there really was a screw in there and then just use the wax filler for a little bit at the top to blend in.) I have heard of but never tried fillers that are melted in which seems like it might be stronger and hold up better.
What is the best answer?
