Best wood filler I've used
My favorite wood filler. This product is easy to work with, dries fast and hard and is easy to clean up. It's recommended by many woodworkers and for good reason. I've tried many products and this one is the best so far. You can get great results with or without having to sand. The container makes it easy to apply and seals well to store. It does dry fast so wetting it can increase workability. Highly recommended.

ah, found it!
This must be the stuff I picked up a few good years back. I had picked up an Elmers white filler that worked GREAT with PVC molding, purchased both from HD. Easy to apply into the nail holes, easy to skim off and color / sheen perfect match, no painting of the white PVC molding. Just recently, ripped out some beat up old cheap wood molding, and replaced with the nice PVC molding. Before filling the nail holes, I was testing different solutions, cause I couldn't exactly remember what I used the last time. I picked up a "white" elmers that HD had, the stuff was more greyish when dry and was very "fibery" . terrible. After not being all that happy with solutions I picked up locally, I search Amazon. urrrrreeekkaa I thought when I found this. Purchased a tube and tested it. The E855 is what I must of gotten originally from HD, ordering more of this E855 from Amazon to finish off the molding. Your hard pressed to find the nail holes, and that is without painting.. I just filled in the nail holes with the original white Elmers filler. A few years later, still looks as clean and perfect matching as the day I did it. If you look hard with a flash light you'll find the nail holes I filled 5-6 years ago,.. but your hard pressed with our without a flash light.. you really have to look. Compared to using Latex caulking I ( I'm told silicon RTV wont stick to the PVC molding) ...... all I tested actually flow better than the Elmers 855, but all cause a the need to wipe around the nail hole to get ride of the residue that shows in the glare of lighting after skimming the fill with a putty knife. And depending on the caulking, the caulking in the nail hole can attract dust and dirt changing the color if not painted over. You can tell, after letting a test fill dry for a few days, rub a dirty finger over it, and see what sticks... only one caulking/adhesive and the Elmers wont keep the dirt from your finger. This Elmers 855 is PERFECT for the white PVC molding (indoor / dry location only. I'll assume if wet location, better use something else or paint over it). So I'm ordering a few more tubes so I can fill all my nail holes and slightly open seams.

Excellent for Filling Nail Holes
I have been renovating my house, replacing moldings with new white casements and baseboards. I've been using a product to fill in nail holes, but it seemed (to me) to be a bit fragile. I wanted something that dries a little harder. I watched a video comparing products, and this one seemed to come out on top. Pros: Easy to apply, bonds well, doesn't shrink, true white, dries harder than what I had been using, still sands easy. Cons: Hard to tell on the white woodwork where I filled. Summary: This is now my new go-to for filling nail holes, and other small imperfections. I had to mark where I filled with painters tape so I knew where to go with the touch-up paint. Buy Again: Absolutely.

Nice for filling grain on balsa
Nice tube dispenser. Will have to see if it lasts longer against prematurely drying out like the tubs do. Nice for filling the grain on balsa model parts. Ad a blob of it in a small medicine cup or mixing bowl, about equal part water and then brush it on both faces of the balsa, let it dry, lightly sand and you'll have nicely filled grain.

Perfect Repair
I've used so many different wood fillers, they were always messy and smelt. I tried this because I needed a super smooth finish on very small but multiple defects in an interior door frame. It worked perfectly, took paint perfectly and you cannot tell the repair versus the original wood. Very pleased with this product, buy the little applicator for best results.

Pleasantly surprised!
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product. I had been using the plastic wood filler (the pink stuff that turns light beige) and the texture was driving me nuts, so I bought this. Talk about night and day difference! This was so easy to apply, it wasn’t grainy or gritty, and didn’t ball up when I was smoothing it out. It filled the cracks so well and the application was very even, so even that I don’t think that I’ll have to sand my project before painting it. The color is a pure white and matched my Kilz primer perfectly. Will definitely purchase again.

Was ok, but not what I was expecting
I was going to give this product a try in hopes of filling in and sanding some of the weathered woodwork close my tub in my bathroom. This stuff is literally just normal spackle in a tube. Was hoping for a slightly smoother and almost glue like texture, but it ended up being a powdery, chalky paste just like spackle for drywall. It’s not durable enough for edges, just for filling in tiny gaps and holes. Dries very fast and is easily sandable, but not durable enough like plastic wood.

Easy to use. I had new mdf primed skirting boards and used this product to fill the small gaps in the corners. It is easy to sand and the finish is great. Expensive but when used sparingly rather than normal filler, it works extremely well.

I've been a finisher for many years and have tried several fillers. This is my favorite. It goes on very smooth and dries quickly. I don't even sand it. I let it dry and then take a damp rag and wipe it flush off the wood work. Mind you these are small pin holes, but the paint touches up very easily. I've never noticed any shrinking. I've also used it to fill small chipped corners. It doesn't get super hard but it's solid enough to hold up if the corner isn't damaged again. It's a great product.

Maybe I got a bad tube. Nearly impossible to squeeze the putty from the tube, and the putty itself was very flaky, like light spackling. In the end, I managed to get it to adhere to the small repair I was attempting, and I just hope it holds up when I eventually sand it. Likely would try another brand, and perhaps not tube based next time.
