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.

Would RecommendGood filler
It never hardens.
Would Not RecommendI didn’t realize that it never dried to sand.
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.

Good putty, true to color.
