These poplar plugs are a staple for patching screw holes or fastener marks on high-visibility woodwork, including stair treads, drawer faces, tabletops, and flooring. Their reliable fit and customizable finish make them a popular choice for cabinetry, upcycled furniture, handmade toys, and seamless flooring repairs.

    Properly installed, the plugs’ flat head and snug fit ensure they remain level with the wood surface long-term.

    Unfinished poplar readily absorbs most stains and paints, allowing for easy color matching or artistic effects.
  • Can they be used in furniture beyond stairs?

  • What’s the best tip for achieving an invisible repair?
    Match the plug’s grain direction and stain closely to that of the surrounding area for optimal blending.
  • Do these plugs withstand heavy foot traffic?
    Poplar’s strength and the plug’s press-fit ensure durability even in frequently used stairs or flooring.
