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.

The color well-matched the outside indication.

Would Not Recommend

It did not remain SOFT in the container as the outer packaging indicated. Other than that, it was fine.
