What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the product's excellent color matching and seamless blending with stained wood surfaces, noting it makes repairs virtually invisible. Many appreciate its pliable texture, ease of application, and quick cleanup with a damp cloth—ideal for small holes and scratches. However, a substantial group expresses frustration with its non-hardening formula, expecting traditional wood filler that dries and sands. Some report the putty remains soft indefinitely, calling it impractical for areas needing durability or finishing. Despite this confusion, most customers find it effective for its intended cosmetic purpose.

Awful studff

Would Not Recommend

This stuff was so awful. It doesn’t stick to anything and just flicks right off the door and clumps. The consistency is just not made right

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.
