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
Question:	What is difference or recommended use regarding wood filler and two part epoxy
Answer:	You must make your questions clearer. MinWax Wood Filler when mixed with epoxy is an excellent product.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could this be used to fill a crack in a table. It's the whole length of the table and wide enough for water to spill to the ground through it
Answer:	I would use a good wood putty that is not porous in place of this.
Question:	would this fix nail holes that are striped where hidges hold door? does it dry hard
Answer:	Yes, if you do it right. Any good wood glue or wood filler can be put in a stripped wood screw hole, and the screw pushed into the wet filler, but be careful -- once the filler sets up, you won't be able to tighten or remove the screw. Add a toothpick or 2 if the hole is really loose, just so the screw will stay in place while drying.
Question:	Can this be used on top of chalk paint
Answer:	This product is used to repair interior wood holes and gouges. Loose paint and wood chunks should be removed before application.
Question:	Can it be used to fill cracks or holes in the fresh wood stump
Answer:	This wood filler is designed for filling holes and gouges in wood. Note that it is non-structural, so it should not be subject to critical stress.

Question:	Did anyone try to stain this with color? Does it blend
Answer:	It sometimes has a terrible reaction to some chemicals and stays pink. There's no guarantee with this unfortunately.

Question:	How can I submit a color that I need help matching

Question:	Will this product repair edges that were scuffed during a move as well as scratches on the surface
Answer:	I had great results with this product after receiving help from them. They are a super resource. I’m not sure what you mean by damage to edges. I suggest sending photos with brief message to them. They are honest and have a great product
Question:	I have damaged furniture from ballard design in aged pine. how do i know how to repair by color

Wood stain can look quite different when applied to different wood species and even the same species which have veins of wood a different shade. Short story it is a bit of trial and error so be patient.
Question:	How would I make a Chestnut color
Answer:	There are directions of how to make colors in the box. This is a bit more color theory based but if you’ve never taken an art class if you follow the directions they’re very helpful.

User questions & answers

Question:	will it fill a door knob hole
Answer:	I would not use this alone to fill a large hole like a hole for a door knob
Question:	Has anyone tried staining this product yet....or only used with paint? do i need to buy the specific "stainable filler"? thank you
Answer:	I used this stuff with paint when I was making props for a costume. It takes to paint very well, you may need a couple of coats, but it will work.
Question:	Has anyone tried to "stain" this wood filler, does it stain well
Answer:	Yes it will take stain but I would stain just the filler using a small paint brush to make it match the unstained wood around it, let that dry, then stain the whole piece as normal and you’ll have a better chance of it all blending better. This should not be used for large sections but rather to blend away small ding, holes, gouges, etc.
Question:	Yes, it says for interior...but any success/experience using it for exterior purposes? i need to fix cracked wood on patio door frame. tia
Answer:	I also used this to repair a cracked Exterior door frame. Apply, let it dry, lightly sand and my frame only showed a slight blemish after touchup painting. Still holding strong. Hope this helps...

Question:	Do this product work with laminate kitchen cabinets?! I want to fill in the 70s door designs and make it flat; I’ll than paint over it
Answer:	This product is used to repair holes, dents, scratches, and defects on wood, wallboard, molding or painted surface.
Question:	What color is it
Answer:	This wood filler is color beige.
Question:	What color does it dry
Answer:	Same color as when it's wet, tan or light wood color
Question:	Is this shapable like a putty or is this more of a liquid
Answer:	It is shapable like a putty. It doesn't dry so quick so have to work real fast with it. It doesn't take a long time either though once you've applied it for it to dry enough to sand it although I try to leave it drying overnight. It's one of the best wood fillers on the market in my opinion.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does "This is an aftermarket of generic part" mean? Is this fake
Answer:	The product I received wasn't "fake". It works just fine. It's wood filler. You can buy the exact same product in the hardware store, same packaging and everything.
Question:	Would this protect against carpenter bees
Answer:	This is intended mostly for filling small holes, so if it is the wood they are after, you would not be covering enough to protect it from them.
Question:	Cover over nail head metal
Answer:	Yes this will cover that for nail heads as well
Question:	Could I use this to fill in a screw hole that is too big and rescrew in that area
Answer:	Yes, it dries to a hard consistency. I believe that would work.You can also put some pieces of toothpick in with the screw, as you drill it in, to hold it in place.

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:	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:	Has anyone used outdoors? I filled in a rotted door jam and it seemed to be working great until it rained. Now it is mushy and growing mold
Answer:	I used it on an outdoor redwood table and over the course of a few weeks it fell out piece by piece. I would not advise this product.
Question:	Would this fill in a hole about an inch by an inch, where a piece of wood has worn out on my porch? Thanks! Stay well
Answer:	yes, it should. How deep is the space?
Question:	Will this take a wood stain well
Answer:	I am not certain. I used this product with exterior paint. And, the product is porous enough that it accepts the paint well. However, as stated, I have not attempted to put a wood stain on it. Maybe, it would be best to call the company/manufacturer and ask them. Sorry that I could not offer more information for you.
Question:	Can you thin with water plastic wood by dap
Answer:	Yes, it thinned with water just fine. It actually works better to do thin smooth coats with a spatula. It dries out quickly, so ability to keep adding small amounts of water to keep it moist is nice.

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:	Did you find it hard to sand/shape? I'll be filling cracks and holes in deck wood, and want to "feather" it in flush w/wood
Answer:	I have 20+ years in contract office furniture, specifically in Operations (8 years in Service) & Bondo is great for filling dents, divots, etc. I recommend using a non-flexible flat metal/plastic surface for your pallet. Work fast, it hardens quickly. Start with 120 grit & reduce to 220. We sprayed a light coat of primer to check our feathering.
Question:	Can this product be molded so as to create a 1" vertical edge as it's being applied or does it need a temporary barrier to keep it in place
Answer:	My experience working with the Bondo Wood Filler leads me to believe it requires a temporary barrier to form a 1" vertical edge. While the mixed compound is not "soupy," it is not so firm as to avoid slumping unless you were to build up the vertical edge in small (say 1/4") layers. After a few minutes the mixture does become firm enough to stand on it's own but at that point is unworkable. I hope this answer is clear and correctly addresses your question.
Question:	What ratio do you use for wood filler to hardener? I find the directions confusing
Answer:	I don't think you have to be too precise with the ratio. A little hardener goes a long way and this stuff sets up immediately. I used a hardener line about the length of a paper clip on a 4-inch dollop of the bondo filler and it worked fine.
Question:	Will it take a water-based stain
Answer:	Not an acceptable substrate for stain, however after priming may be painted over with laytex//water, acrylic/enamel, lacquer or oil based paints.

User questions & answers

Question:	Using the white for paint, can you fill nail holes and "walk away?" That is, if you apply very cleanly with a putty knife, will it be paint ready
Answer:	This product never dries and will probably bleed through the paint. Better to use spackle which dries hard and may need minor sanding before paint is applied.
Question:	Can I get it in one gallon or quarter gallon
Answer:	The answer is No ! It only comes in small containers!
Question:	Can I glue raw wood to the patched part. What kind of glue
Answer:	Yes, but remember that the putty is not the only bonding surface, I would make sure there is sufficient wood surface around the putty for bonding to other wood. It does dry quite hard but may not adhere to your glue. Try a test run first.
Question:	It seems that the maple color of this is too ‘red’ - could I use the pine to fill nail holes in maple veneered plywood? Would that match closer
Answer:	I would use the lightest color putty and use a stain marker to get a closer match
