What Customers Are Saying
The product is generally effective at filling small holes and gaps in wood, but can be challenging to work with due to its quick drying and hardening properties. Some users reported inconsistent quality, with cans that were only partially full or contained dried-out filler. While suitable for minor repairs, the product may not be ideal for larger jobs or require additional tools and techniques to achieve desired results.

Would RecommendPlastic Wood is a very good product that can be used to repair both small and large areas of damaged wood. For larger repairs, it does take more time to properly fill deeper gaps, often requiring multiple applications. However, once it hardens, it performs very well and can be sanded to a smooth finish. I’ve also had great success with color matching. Plastic Wood takes stain nicely and works well with both oil-based and acrylic paints.

It's better than the description on the packaging.
Would RecommendIt works great.
Acetone make application much easier w/ less waste
Would RecommendLid does not close (reseal) properly for some reason. Acetone should be kept on hand as a thinner for the product to thin the product to ease application. (sort of like adding a small amount of water to sheetrock mud...). As a wood filler, it works great. It dries quickly and can be resoftened (if needed) with acetone... so there is very little waste.
Good wood filler
Would RecommendGood wood filler
Not a bad product but it is dry off the start
Would Not RecommendProduct works well, but out of the jar it was fairly dry. Returned the first one that I had and the second one was dry as well. Just doesn’t apply really well because of how dry it was, but it does do the job.

Saved so much money
Would RecommendThis DAP Plastic Wood saved me a fortune on a window frame that I honestly thought was a goner. The wood was starting to look pretty rough and weathered, and I was dreading the cost of a full replacement, but this stuff bridged the gap perfectly. Because it’s solvent-based, it dries incredibly hard and actually feels like part of the wood once it sets, which gave me a lot more confidence in the structural repair than the water-based stuff ever could. It dries fast—almost too fast if you’re not c...
Don't use it as to fill big surface in thin amount
smaller tube amount and the nozzle was just small enough to put it in the hole and fill it better than using your finger to press the putty into the hole.
