Questions & Answers
I would hazard a guess that it dries hard. If I were you, I would suggest that. If you drill the screw in and put some toothpicks in with it to keep it in place, you can also add pieces of toothpick with the screw.
Unlike some other products I received, mine did not appear to be a fake. As a wood filler, it does the job perfectly. Buying the exact same product at a hardware store is no different. The packaging is the same and so is
As far as nail heads are concerned, this will also cover that
Since it is mostly used to fill in small holes, if the wood is what they are after, you would not even cover enough to keep them from getting to it.
Selected User Reviews For Elmer's E855 Carpenter's Wood Filler, 3.25-Ounce Tube, White
Having a lot of white in the house (trim, cabinets, doors), I use white filler instead of ivory, since we have quite a bit of white in our home. The filler dries quickly and paints over very nicely, should you desire. Make sure to add a drop of water to the lid every time you shut it. Most of the clogs that stop the tube from being easy to squeeze are kept away by this device. It is time to try again after putting 5 minutes of water in the lid and closing it up for 5 minutes if you have to squeeze hard to get it open. As a rule, you will be able to squeeze once I occasionally needed to use a skewer to poke out a clog that developed due to the water slightly drying inside from using it for too long or having it open for too long, but last time I tried the water trick it worked. You will find that the first squeeze will be extremely runny and watery if you put in more than a drop, but it will get better after that first burst of runny liquid.
In response to a drunken argument with my boyfriend, I purchased the white stuff to cover up a few knife stab gouges in my white pantry door. You don't need to worry about me, I have terrible aim, and the pantry door was all I hit. Then I applied this broadly and sanded it down. It covered up everything! No longer do we see the door every time we visit and think of that crazy night!.
The first time I used wood putty, I realized it would look better regardless of what I had used. A hole can barely be seen, and he still seems to have made it. dried relatively quickly after being applied and was very easy to use.
I filled in the gouges with the wood filler. In the past, I have used Minwax wood filler, but it is much more grainy than what I am used to and needs In the wet state, Elmer's product is more like Spackle, so it is easier to work with and smoother to use Eventually, I did not need to sand the surface, just smooth it with a knife. Due to the fact that it can fill large cracks, you will likely need a lot of this product This project used every last bit of the tube.
In my kitchen cabinets, I have white doors made out of MDF/melamine. As a result, I painted all the doors and drawers in green, and replaced the handles that the previous owners had put on. The problem is Longer handles are present in the new models, but shorter handles are found in the old models. Filling the old holes and drilling new ones for the new handles was accomplished by using white wood filler. I cannot think of a better white to match this! There were no tools used by me - Putting on a latex glove and using my finger worked for me. This tip helped me fill old holes without making a mess, and I was able to be super precise. I also liked how it was dry to the touch within maybe half an hour. Unless you look extremely closely, I can't tell there was ever any old hole there, even then it will be completely unnoticeable later on tomorrow when I put the new handles on.
Before painting, some baseboard cracks had to be sealed around poorly coping ends. When you work with it, it feels almost crumbly like a gooey drywall at times. As a result of that, it was simply sufficient to squeeze into the cracks and wipe off any excess before it was dried, so lots of sanding wasn't necessary. We had little difficulty getting rid of the little bit that needed sanding. To make it simple, I used a high-quality printer It took me just a few minutes to make grit paper the size of a band aid at the end of my finger. As soon as it's painted over, you can't even see the seam at the corner. A slight mistake was made in sanding prior to purchase of this product, and the tiny top bit of the floor trim on another section came off. As soon as the tip was partially dry, I used this product to reattach it and reform the corner into a perfect one. The paint is totally inconspicuous once it is painted over, even to close inspection. Those considering their options should consider the following In my storage bin, I found some neutral wood filler that is sandable, paintable, and can be used indoors or outdoors. In the past, I have attempted to paint it and found that it was too gritty to paint on tight corners and stayed quite visible once painted.
A recent project proved to be a real blessing for this product, and I will continue to rely on it in the future. The old way, where I had to sand, the filler material would adhere to my fingers, and the odor, was plain and unpleasant. This product can be easily rinsed off with water, feels like paint, and matches perfectly with primed casing. You can fill in nail head holes by squeezing out a small amount of filler on the tip of a finger and rubbing it in. You can remove any excess by wiping the area with a paper towel. Water should be used to clean. Furthermore, I used it to fill cracks up to 1/8" wide in all of those joints where various millwork parts didn't quite fit together as expected, giving the overall project a more professional appearance. It resembles slightly dried toothpaste. It is probably more expensive per pound than caulk, but for a small project like mine (about 25' of new wall with two doorways), it proved to be worth the cost.
In order to fill in gaps in the trim from screws following the removal of window shutters, I used this product. It was easy to use and the tip on the applicator was perfect for getting the holes filled. That's much easier than getting your hands dirty with a tub. My first time using a wood filler, its consistency, ease of use, and time to dry, were all exactly what I required. As of yet I have not painted it so that is an unknown, but so far it appears to be white enough that I do not have to rush to cover it. When storing the bottle, I read another review that pointed out that you should put a drop or two of water on the cap's spouts to prevent it from drying out.
