What Customers Are Saying

The Minwax wood putty has received mixed reviews. Many found it easy to apply with a good color match, effective for filling small holes, dents, and scratches. However, a significant number reported issues with the putty not drying or hardening properly, making it difficult to sand or finish the repairs. Some also found the putty too dry and crumbly, or too soft and gooey, challenging to work with. The product may be best suited for small, temporary fixes rather than larger, more permanent repairs.

Not impressed

Would Not Recommend

It never dries but dries up pretty fast in the bottle. The putty stays putty so the directions say to put it on after the finish. Well, the the nail holes after the finally coat are not deep enough for the putty to stick, plus it doesn't dry. But in the bottle it will dry up in a few months even with the lid tight. I used wood filler on the next boards and it worked much better.

Bad product

Would Not Recommend

What is the point of a non hardening putty? I never write reviews but this ruined our project and we had to spend hours digging it out of cracks and screw holes. We also used it on a finished cabinet that had a gouge. We removed it the best we could, but I’m now wondering if anything will adhere to it to actually repair it. I do not understand how a wood putty that does not harden and isn’t sandable can be used for anything. Please explain.

Got to a job with product, upon opening it was dried out and unusable. Looks like it’s been on the shelf a long time.

Not an exact match to finish, but as close as I could find. Filled in a gap in an old dresser just fine.
