What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise this wood putty for its ease of application and excellent color matching with wood stains, making it ideal for filling nail holes and small scratches on finished surfaces like trim and cabinets. Many appreciate that it requires minimal sanding and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth for quick fixes. However, a notable group expresses frustration with the non-hardening formula, which prevents sanding and limits its use for certain finishing applications. Some felt misled expecting a traditional drying filler. Despite this confusion, most customers find it effective for its intended purpose of concealing small imperfections.

Pretty good

Would Recommend

I purchased this to fill in errors on wood laminate flooring installation. It was too light in color but able to be mixed with black. It is dry to apply. I would recommend it be softer or “wetter”. It is very easy to clean off after application.

Good Putty

Would Recommend

Good color match for Colonial Maple stain projects. But it’s putty, so it’s intended just for slight cover-ups.

I've used a lot of wood filler in the past but this is my favorite. I barely needed to sand.
