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.

worth the money

Would Recommend

Used this to fill small dents and nail holes while refinishing a wood furniture piece. It spreads smoothly and sands down easily once dry. The color blended well with paint and stain after finishing. A little goes a long way, so the container should last through several projects.

Fills well; dries slowly

Would Recommend

Thick and easily spreadable but its thickness contributes to a slow drying time. This putty fills well but it was still damp a full 24 hours later.

Worked exactly as expected.

Would Recommend

Bought this to fill 16 gauge nail holes in white baseboard. Not bright white in color but eliminated touch up painting of trim and applied smoothly. Would recommend for smaller nail holes but larger ones may show the color difference more and need painted. Good product overall.

Multiple colors to choose from.

My go to putty for filling holes in mdf. Easy to work, excess sands to a nice smooth finish.
