User questions & answers

Question:	Can this product be used outside
Answer:	It's rated for both interior and exterior use. I recently built a cover for my pool motor and used this to fill many holes and seams where the 2x4's came together (i.e. I did not want any places where water could pool or collect). I used pocket holes to join the 2x4's with paintable plugs and filled in the plugs as well. I applied several coats of aerosol primer, then color coat and lastly an oil-based aerosol spar polyurethane for added protection. I have a similar (smaller) project that has been exposed to the elements for over a year and it looks great (no rot or breakdown)
Question:	Can I put polyurethane over it
Answer:	Yes you can after staining it will help make it look more real sanding lite in between coats of polyurethane
Question:	Is the tip a small point or more like a toothpast tube? I need to fill holes on small round details and need a small tip dispenser
Answer:	It has a tapered tip you can cut to the desired size, similar to a tube of caulk.
Question:	can it be drilled/ anchored once it dries
Answer:	yes does very good

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone have success filling chips on hard wood floors and success staining this stuff
Answer:	I've done it successfully several times. I've had to mix a little wood glue with the filler each time and make more than one application since there is shrinkage as the mixture drys. Then I've roughed it up a bit with fine sandpaper and applied stain or varnish stain. Takes some care and practice.
Question:	Why isn't the color of the filler marked on the package??? Very not friendly!!! Color is everything with filler
Answer:	It's a WOOD filler. You paint or stain afterward.
Question:	Could it be used to fill in shower grout lines and Rust-Oleum used to refinish without grout lines
Answer:	We do not recommend using this product to fill in shower grout lines. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Question:	Is this product dry powder or premixed
Answer:	Hello, this was premixed and not just dry powder. As a "do it yourself senior of 87 (!)", I found it really excellent for what I needed for 2 medium sized jobs. It filled the holes and dried nicely. I bought it originally on a recommendation of a local timber yard and then bought another box from Amazon. If you do not use it all at once I found it useful to push it down off the sides of the box, and cover it with a bit of plastic very loosely on the top of the mixture, hardly touching. June.

User questions & answers

Question:	If you can reconstitute this product with water, then doesn't that mean the repair applied to your job cannot be cleaned with water
Answer:	If you repair, stain/paint and seal the wood, as a *good* repair SHOULD be done, then there should be no problem. If the product in the jar is a bit dry and one adds water to reconstitute, it’s not the same as if one has filled gouges or cracks... let the product dry and cure... THEN cleaned with water. Fillers are a different creature once they cure; especially if painted/stained/sealed. There’s a big difference between the two circumstances.
Question:	Can you use this to fill in permanent gaps between my old school farm house wood boards on floor
Answer:	It's a putty for small projects like fixing a chip, or grain filling the surface of wood before a finish. It's not a building material. has no structural properties.
Question:	Does this dry hard and is it sandable
Answer:	Yes, and yes. It dries very hard and is easily sanded.
Question:	what material are these made from
Answer:	It's made from calcium carbonate and assorted binders.

FAQs

Q: Do I need to match the filler to the color of the wood if I plan to stain the wood?

A: GoodFilla is designed to accept stain similarly to wood. However, the stain needs to be darker than the filler. If you are using a light stain, match the filler to the color of the wood.

Q: How do I make a custom color with the base/neutral?

A: A liquid or powdered universal tint or dye is ideal. You can also use paints, food dyes, or stains to tint the filler to your desired color. Results will vary depending on the pigment load. Always test by applying the final finish over the dried filler.

Q: Can you use the filler outside?

A: Yes. Mix with a water-based weather-proof glue. For extra protection, be sure the area is coated/sealed with a clear coat.

Q: Can I mix wood flour into the filler?

A: Yes. Test the results and color by applying finish to the dry, sanded filler.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you mix colors to get to a custom color
Answer:	I don't see any reason why not, other than the potential mess and a need to work in a bit of a hurry.
Question:	I see it said 1 pack on the quantity. Does that mean 1 tube
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Would natural match white oak hardwood floors
Answer:	I have not tried it with white oak. Most of my applications are on pine or poplar, which I stain before finishing. For as well as it matches pine before staining, I believe that it would do well on white oak after the finish was applied. It will be obvious to you but others are not likely to notice the filler.
Question:	i have a gash in my composite deck outside. i want to fill it then sand and stain it. is this product good for outdoor use
Answer:	Yes i use it on our playset to plug bee holes and then sand , stain over.

User questions & answers

Question:	Which sandpaper grit should I use to smooth it out
Answer:	I used this to fill in holes caused by woodpeckers. I believe last summer I used a medium fine grit. Doesn't take much to smooth it out.
Question:	Why is mine so watery
Answer:	Did u "work" the tube (with lid on work up & down because sometimes it separates a little from sitting). If that doesn't work then return it for new 1. Should be kind of a thick toothpaste consistency.
Question:	Can this be used under acrylic paints
Answer:	I use latex paint over so why not acrylic too
Question:	I am looking to fix the door hinges of a ikea pax wardrobe with a stripped the screw hole. doors are heavy and can i apply this and screw it after
Answer:	Use glue and a wooden matchstick. Put wood glue in the stripped hole. Insert the matchstick and let dry. Cut the matchstick flush with the surface and drill a new hole. Larger holes use multiple matchsticks or slivers of wood

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product ok to use on my porch floor where it gets lots of traffic
Answer:	If the rotted-out section is properly prepared (say, by removing all damaged wood and applying a couple of coats of wood petrifier to soak the adjacent area), then yes, the epoxy paste will be equally as strong as wood and should withstand traffic. Just filling in the rot hole without treating the edges where it binds will eventually result in the "plug" separating. Be sure to paint or eurathane, etc. the finished, sanded repair.
Question:	Is it possible to buy this product in white as the wood items I need to repair will be painted white afterwards
Answer:	It cures to a very light tan. When painting give the product a very light first coat of paint and then a 2nd after that dries.
Question:	the bottom of my sash is rotted, so how do I keep the epoxy in the hole
Answer:	Tape over the bottom if you have access to the bottom, but if not try plugging the bottom of the hole with putty or glazing compound
Question:	If I am using this to fill wood gaps in wood that is not rotted should I still use wood hardener first? How likely is this epoxy to come loose
Answer:	The petrifier can be used to harden rotted wood. You can also remove a lot of the rotted wood if that is possible given the project parameters. If you are filling a large void it is good idea to use some screws to act as rebar for the putty. You install the screws below the surface of the repair and make sure to drive them into good material. Then spread the putty into the hold around the screws when dry the putty will have wrapped around the screws almost like you "screwed" the putty to the surface. Make sure the screws are below the finished surface will allow the putty to hide the screws.

User questions & answers

Question:	do i have to mix the entire container at once
Answer:	This fill need to be use and let dry for some time before you can stain /paint over it, and when storing it for the next time turn the container up side down so it doesn't dry out over time.
Question:	Why can't I get it out of the tube
Answer:	It will harden with age, just sitting on your shelf. Or it might have come to you from old stock. Once the tube is opened, it will dry out and harden quickly. Probably need to get a new container.
Question:	Can I drill into hardened mini wax wood filler and re-screw a hinge
Answer:	Yes, you can. When filling larger holes: you can speed up the drying process by stuffing part of the gap with a small cutoff piece of wood. Make sure to overfill the area, that way it will sand to a straight, smooth finish
