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.

Stupid Pointless & Frustrating Product

Like so many other reviewers, “Non-hardening” verbiage is microscopic and unreadable with the naked eye, so after applying this goo, I got out my magnifying glass and realize that it will never harden, SO WHAT IS TGE FREAKING POONT? Now I have to remove it all, hopefully, throw this in the garbage and go out and buy wood filler that could harden in my lifetime and serve a function.

Make the old look new.

Would Recommend

Mini wax worked like a champ. Easy to apply and nice finish. For deeper color and longer finish, two coats were applied. The wood top on an outdoor (exposed surface) cabinet, looks new again.

Good putty, true to color.

Would Recommend

Used this to fill a few gaps in a large red oak glue up that I had to do for a project at my house. This stuff worked very well, perhaps the best putty I've ever purchased.
