DAP 00585 Latex 6oz, White All Purpose Plastic Wood Filler, 6 Oz

After reading the negative reviews I felt pretty good about buying this. I was not planning to feed it to my pregnant wife, nor leave it open to dry out. I would recommend having gloves on and to follow all of the directions on the tube. Ive placed it on several areas outside the house with wood damage and have painted over it in past week. Things look to be doing well with this product and I would consider buying it again. No visible degradation has happened so far with inches of hard hitting rain and temperatures over 90 with direct sun exposure for hours. There is not much in this tube so it is a bit of an expensive fix should you have a larger project that needs to be done. Definitely better than the stuff I have used in past at Lowes.

Best wood filler on the market, by far.

Easy to use

I was split over whether to choose the white or wood brown. I chose the white. After filling the hole with a Popsicle stick, I filled the remainder with the DAP, sanded it after it dried and painted over it. The paint absorption was perfect and nobody sees any hole there now.

I purchased this product to fill a hole in my indoor camper door. The hole was only an inch in diameter. I applied several layers and let it dry in between, but this product cracked as it dried and eventually broke out.

I had three stripped-out screw holes where my upper door hinge attaches to the door frame. Since there are only two hinges, the door was kind of flopping around loosely. This is the front door to my apartment, so its important that I keep it locked when I leave. And the only way I could lock it was by lifting the door by the door knob and pulling it shut so it could latch. I was going to inform my landlady, but she kind of freaks out whenever I call her with a problem -- so I decided to attempt to repair the stripped-out screw holes myself, and leave the poor lady alone. After reading some of the reviews for this wood filler, I decided to order it and give it a go. I received the product a couple of days ago. I decided to start with one screw hole -- just to see how it would work. So I splooged a fair amount of the wood filler inside the screw hole, pushed it in with a jewelers screwdriver, re-splooged some more in, and continued the process until I was certain Id really filled the hole up as much as possible. (Splooged is a scientific term; you can look it up!) I then let it set overnight, and attempted to screw the screw back into the hole. The entire endeavor proved fruitless. The screw went in real loose, and kept turning sloppily -- no grip whatsoever. Undaunted, I went back to Amazon, and proceeded to read some of the Q&As on this wood filler. One suggestion I read indicated that one might insert a toothpick or a wood sliver into the hole, along with the filler, and that might shore up the hole effectively. However, I had no toothpicks. But I did have an old pine board that wasnt doing anything in particular. I decided to kind of cut into the board and produce two good-sized slivers that were thick enough so that I could hammer them into place within the screw hole, after I applied more wood filler. Again, I let it set so it could harden. Before I attempted to screw the screw back into the reinforced hole, I decided to smear more wood filler all over the screws threads, just because. And who was gonna stop me?! No one, thats who! Finally, I began to carefully and slowly screw the screw back into the hole without re-drilling. Right away, I noticed a big difference. There was a lot more resistance present as I hand-tightened the screw with my handy dandy screw driver. When the screw was flush with the plate, I really reefed on it to see how tight I could get it. Success!!! I tightened the screw as much as was physically possible, and it appeared to hold beautifully. I followed suit with the other two screw holes, and was successful on both counts. Problem solved! I hope it holds. However, Im not certain how much the wood filler played a part in my repair job. I mean, it couldve just been the slivers of pine alone that did the trick. Or maybe it was the combination of the pine-sliver inserts and the wood filler that proved effective. Id like to think the latter is correct, because I sincerely wish to justify this purchase. So, thats the reason for the four-star review. Hope this helps! Thank you very much. Goodbye.

This was just what I needed to fill in small defects in my rustic wood topped kitchen table. The repair with colored pencils, when dry, is not even noticeable.

I wanted to paint a section of panelling on my wall that had some damage to it. There were damaged places in a variety of sizes and depths. This wood filler went on easily, dried quickly, and was easy to sand to a very smooth surface. The paint covered in 2 coats and I cannot tell where I used the filler. I would definitely rate this an excellent product.

Super easy to work with. Dries matter. Cleans up easily with water, even after it dries (needs to be sealed. Is not waterproof). I used this to fill small gaps in my self-installed bathroom flooring. (I said I did it. I didn’t say I did it WELL.) Worked great and saved me the trouble of having to try to fit minuscule scrap pieces into the gaps. Sealed with clear matte waterproof glue.

just returned newly purchased tub of this filler. the tube it cam in had a leek. i have used this product several times, its the best I have ever used. hoping to receive replacement soon.
