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.

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.
