Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

A little on the dry side.
Would RecommendDon't know how long it's been on the shelf. I found it just a bit dry on top. Still usable though.

Great stuff
Would RecommendThis is great for filling nail holes in trim. If you’ve never used it you should watch a YouTube video on how to use it. You should know that it will dry out unless you fill it with water when you’re not using it

Make sure you need this before buying
Would Not RecommendMake sure you know why you need this product. I had a sizeable hole in a wall that I thought this would be useful to repair. But it didn't dry after a week of letting it sit in place. I'm sure it's fine overall, but did not help repair my wall surface like I thought it would.
