Handiest stuff for finishing a surface

This stuff is so handy. Just grab out a grape sized amount, roll it around with your fingers to shape it and warm it and then just smoosh it on the nail holes and smooth with a putty knife. It can fill tiny holes and big holes pretty well. Usually there's a whole row of nail holes and you can just rapidly smoosh-swipe and get them all quickly.

Putty works great on wood trim

Would Recommend

This putty works great to conceal nail holes in trim throughout the house. We replace old blinds on our windows and needed to fill holes before painting the window trim. The putty was easy to handle and fill holes. Once dried, it was easy to lightly sand. It was then painted with no trace of the repair.

Great nail hole filler

Would Recommend

I used this putty to fill all the nail and screw holes left by previous house owner. I then was able to paint over areas to eliminate holes . works easy and smoothly.

Never solidified.

Would Not Recommend

Maybe we got a bad batch but this stuff was awful to work with, wouldn't stick to the window frame, only stuck to my fingers. And then it just stayed gooey. It never solidified. Not sure what went wrong but it was horrible.
