What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this putty for effectively filling nail holes and small cracks in trim, noting it smooths easily with a finger and allows seamless paint application. Many highlight quick cleanup and reliable performance for detail work. However, a substantial portion report serious drying inconsistencies—some say it never hardens and remains sticky for weeks, while others receive containers that are rock-hard and unusable. Several note it dries out quickly if the lid isn't sealed tightly. Additional concerns include incompatibility with latex paint and inability to sand once set. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find it worthwhile for small touch-ups when used as intended.

Would Not RecommendMaybe we got a bad batch but this stuff was awful to work with, wouldn't stick to the window frame, only stuck to my fingers. And then it just stayed gooey. It never solidified. Not sure what went wrong but it was horrible.
