Grouting??

I need something to fill spaces in my wood sculptural forms. Has anyone specifically used acrylic cement sanded-grout for filling wide checks/cracks and other spaces in wood? What do you recommend for a water-based, colourable, hard but reasonably ‘flexible’ filler for such spaces? (i.e. not a two-part epoxy like substance) I would be grateful to hear of your experience and for your suggestions.

Give this company a call. Many of the artists I used to shoot for use their products for one thing or another. Don't know if they have exactly what you need but they might.

John, thanks for another great website.

Explored a bit, ordered a catalog...

(I know I can view as a pdf, but I still like a hard copy.)

What about Chinking?

Chinking is a flexible sealant that is used to seal the joints of log homes.

It comes in different colors.

Gosh I forgot about that and I lived in log home. they do make a flexible colored chinking. Don't know if you can buy it in limited quantities but it sure is good stuff. I had other problems with my log home but chinking never was. Excellent stuff. The downside is I don't think you can make is smooth or polish it.
