    hi all,
    any advise appreciated - we have >100 year old floor boards in our house which are sanded and varnished but have gaps (2 - 6mm) so is very draughty coming into the winter.
    just wondering the best way to fill these gaps, so far considering hession mixed with glue; papier mache; wood slivers; wood filler; all seem to have pros and cons but any opinions would be great or other options
    thanks

    Fillers can be bought in tubes for a chalking gun . . Building providers stock it. Its flexible and can be colour matched . Its designed for the job. like a mastic.
