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.

Handiest stuff for finishing a surface
This stuff is so handy. Just grab out a grape sized amount, roll it around with your fingers to shape it and warm it and then just smoosh it on the nail holes and smooth with a putty knife. It can fill tiny holes and big holes pretty well. Usually there's a whole row of nail holes and you can just rapidly smoosh-swipe and get them all quickly.

Putty works great on wood trim
Would RecommendThis putty works great to conceal nail holes in trim throughout the house. We replace old blinds on our windows and needed to fill holes before painting the window trim. The putty was easy to handle and fill holes. Once dried, it was easy to lightly sand. It was then painted with no trace of the repair.

Great nail hole filler
Would RecommendI used this putty to fill all the nail and screw holes left by previous house owner. I then was able to paint over areas to eliminate holes . works easy and smoothly.
Never solidified.
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.
