Would Not RecommendProduct was very thick and hard to use. It was very difficult to spread and I wound up throwing it away.

Dried out worthless
Would Not RecommendI will be returning this product. It was dried out and unusable. My guess would be that they need a better seal on their lid.

Sticky, gooey mess
Would Not RecommendMaybe I got a bad batch. But it was impossible to roll into a ball with my hands. It was way too soft and sticky. It basically covered all my fingers and hands in goo. I've used painters putty before and know how to use it and know what consistency it should be. This stuff was not right.

Does the job
I used the painter's putty to fill some screw holes is a cabinet door that I converted into a tray. I painted and distressed it and it looks great now.

Use it correctly
Would RecommendAll of the negative reviews are because people don't know how to use this stuff. If you are trying to use a putty knife and fill large holes this is the wrong product. I am in no way a professional. My husband put up mdf trim in my daughter's room and in our basement. We used this putty to fill the nail holes from the nail gun. Really easy to use if you do it correctly. You cannot use a putty knife or scraper. Take a small chunk of this stuff and roll it into a ball. Press it into the hole and t...
