I want to mix some sawdust with glue to fill a couple of chipouts in a project I am building. Any one have a suggestion as to the best glue to use so it will take stain and match the original wood. I will use sanding dust from the original wood. Wood is oak.--Thanks
Best glue for filler

I don't think you can. Try mixing the stain with the glue first, or use a "dutchman"(?)[1]
[1] make the chipout bigger, then cut a patch to fit.
Any binder will seal the sawdust. If the wood is sealed, it won't suck stain.
Yeah, but that stainable Elmers Woodglue seems to take the stain better than the wood. It makes the seams (or filling) darker than the actual wood.

They say that hide glue will accept stain much like wood. I haven't actually tried it myself.
