Not bad but there is better

Review Summary

I used this wood filler for years until something better came along. It is very easy to work with and is inexpensive. It is sandable. It does shrink! So be prepared to reapply as necessary. It does not accept stain well and shows the area that had been filled in. I still use it periodically only in areas that are not as visible.

Not bad if used quickly

Review Summary

The filler itself is OK and I've used this brand a number of times. The colors and texture are good and it dries fast and sands well.It doesn't take stain well , but then none I've found does very well. The big downer on this product for me is the container. It's hard to squeeze the filler out of container after the first use. It tends to dry out in the container making it impossible to get out without cutting it open, or to add any water to thin it down.
It's fine if you use it all up on the first use
