How big are the gaps?
Will you varnish/paint the finished result?
Do you have some spare wood of the same type?
Do you want to avoid spending any more money?
I thought I would just wax polish the frame once finished.
No! I'll think about that. I may have some stuff lurking around from modelling which may do.
Yes, except where cycles and or bargains are concerned . :whistle:
I was thinking of filing the gaps with a type of resin but is still undergoing thought at the moment.
I haven't spent any money on it at the moment apart from the purchase price. As luck would have it it was a lot prior to the one my wife really wanted, so to make sure that she didn't miss out she bid and won this one as well.
It has satisfied my need to fix something for the moment. A bit of a challenge and one which I am quite enjoying.
Thanks for your enquiry and any suggestions are appreciated.

I will fix this tablet if it doesn't start behaving soon !
 
If you want to wax -excellent choice by the way: you want to touch wood, not a plastic cover- the wood a light sanding will help, either toget rid of any varnish or key the surface. For varnish removal you can use 100 grit, for the final preparation I'd go for 150 or better still 240 upwards. If there is varnish, sand it back to the wood everywhere first.

If you have the spare bit of wood, sand it for a while on the 100 grit until you have some sawdust then mix in normal white glue and push the resulting putty into the smaller gaps. Leave a bit too much and take it off when sanding as this is the cheapo option and can shrink a bit when it dries. The only problems are that is that it can show up if the wood is ta different shade or type, but with white glue even the same type can show when you wax it later. There is a sovent based glue sold that does the same job and vanishes more completely, but it is quite pricey.

After stopping for bread, I was standing at a drop kerb outside the shop door with my bike waiting for a gap in the traffic when some 25 stone oaf pulled up on the pavement in his Suzuki Vitara without indicating and almost hit the front wheel of my bike in the process. I watched in bemusement as he waddled into the shop before returning with 8 cans of Tennants, a multipack of crisps and 40 Silk Cut, got into his Suzuki and drove off again without indicating right into the path of a Citreon which had to brake to avoid hitting him. There was much I'd have liked to say to him but bit my tongue. If he'd tried, I wonder would his Suzuki have fitted through the shop's double doors....would have saved him so much effort....
