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.

Don't Get It Delivered
Would Not RecommendGot a tub of putty made in 2018. It was a complete brick. Unbelievable. Now I have to drive to the store to return it and this defeats the whole point.

Tough to use
Would Not RecommendMaybe I got a bad batch but this stuff is not pliable at all. Even had trouble getting it out of the container because it was so hard and not malleable at all. Eventually opted to use my hands (gloved) instead and even then I struggled. Waste of money for me. Will have to buy something else.
