I use pallets for my tables (that I have built). The first one i used an epoxy, so not much of an issue. this one, i am thinking of just using paint, so needing some advise on.
Discretion of pallet: is is built with 3/4 plywood. with many nails. 2X4 for the underneath. Total of 3, one on each end and one in the center.
4 2x4 used for legs, no other support between legs.
I screwed in 2x4 on the corners for the legs, from the sides, and as well as the top.
What I would like to do is to have a nice smooth surface. I believe I will be able to us a punch and knock the nails down below the wood. The screws that i used are below the top surfaces by 1/8 inch. Questions as follows:
1. What would be best to fill in the the cracks, screws, and nails?
2. If unable to drive the nails down, will 2 coats of paint work?
Usage of table is for milling my grains/ weighing on grains. I plan on keeping this table as simple as possible, but may end up cutting a hold for my mill, attaching a moter and gears in the long future. i believe dimension is 28x48. but can be wrong,
