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

adhesion is fair

I needed this to help secure a strike plate to a door frame for the dead bolt. The wood was very chewed up and this rebuilt the area and screw holes. Worked well. Plus its white. Same color as the frame

Omg get it! It works and so easy to use. I really love it!

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 is the. best wood filler if you need to nail or screw into the wood. unlike some other wood fillers that are primarily for cosmetic appearance, this holds a screw tightly after drying. I used it to fill holes in the wood frame of cabinets when I replace the hinges. Worked perfectly!

Ive used this product with different color so I knew the quality of it. The color is much better for me to apply on the floor of what I have.

In general this is a good product. It’s easy to use, dries fast, and sands easily for a smooth finish. However it is not white. More like light gray. Took several coats of white paint on my trim to cover up. It certainly is better that natural wood putty color.

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 was unable to get a smooth finish with this product, no matter what I tried. I tried wetting my putty knife, but all that did, was make it worse. Seems to go from very soft to hard quickly, leaving little working time. Was easy to clean up, at least

In laws visiting and I needed to fix a few chips on a table, dresser, and chair. I didnt have the time to go to the hardware store, and I was concerned about the ETA when ordering online. Got my product in less than 24hrs, works like magic!
