It is unreadable
3/5

I could not read the information and instructions on the back of the tube due to the type size ( font size) so small that even a 75-year-old with reading glasses could not see them clearly. The refund I want from ELMERS is a refund.

A few things I wanted were barely done, so I was not happy
3/5

In some cases, the screws and latches of the replacement door had damaged the wood. I replaced the knob on that door and bought this. In part of the ceiling, screws had torn wood out, so the screws cannot reach the desired depth into the wood any further. I hoped to fill in a couple of those spots using wood filler around those areas. Though I wasn't expecting it to have great hold, I was hoping I could use a screw to anchor it a little It turned out that I was mistaken. I found it rather frustrating to apply, as I couldn't get it to fill in all of the spots I wanted without working it into the area. After leaving it overnight, it was dry the next morning. As the morning went on, it seemed sturdy enough but immediately gave way to the screw, breaking into pieces. Also, I noticed that the glue was shrinking a bit at some places and didn't quite I might not use this product for the right use case in the future, but I'll stay away from it going forward.

I know that you will find this wood filler to be a great one
5/5

A frying pan handle was damaged as the result of an accident. With this filler, the job was done very well and the color matched very well that it makes it hard for the owner to see where the original damage was. Unlike paint, it does not dry immediately, so you can apply it and shape it as you like. The finish can be sanded into a nice finish after it dries in a few hours. The result was great, and once it dried, it was quite solid and.

The product, like all others from Elmer's, worked well! A GARAGE ON OUR FENCE GOT STUCK IN THE WIND AND BANGED BACK SO HARD THAT THE FIXTURE TO RETENTION THE GATE WAS RIVETED OFF! My screw holes had been torn up by the torn screws
5/5

I filled them with this product and some tooth picks.
I REFELT ONCE IT DRIED UP, but it dried hard in a short space of time. I had to screw the fixture back into place. I am all right now!.

Filler can be bought in the best way! Two tubes of this filler I purchased, one of the dark walnut and the other of the There has been wood filler that I have used from those little tubs, and it worked fine
5/5

However, resealing those little tubs didn't always work well, so when you used them again or a third time you ended up with dried up rocks. There is a fix for all that with these tubes! They also allow you to put a bead of filler wherever you need it, rather than messily globbing on a chunk and smearing it all over. There will be no more filler I buy that doesn't come in a.

The application was not as simple as I had imagined
3/5

The filler was a bit dry and crusty, which may have been a combination of a faulty tube and my own. This would have been easier to apply if it had been more watery and "thinner. " fill in large holes, but it is not as effective for applying over uneven surfaces and filling in finer lines, cracks, and holes, which are difficult to lather on and maintain. You can scrape it off when trying to apply it because it's so dry. Water to dilute didn't occur to me, but perhaps that's what I should have done. Additionally, I did not like how this adhesive adhered to the surfaces as well as I would have liked. I bought this product after buying Elmer's wood glue and being satisfied with it, but I have trouble using it. It took me a long time to finish my project, and I had to repeat the filling and sanding process repeatedly.

It's easy to use, and there are no negative side effects It smells bad when you put it in
5/5

Getting my first furniture restoration job through this company was a great experience for me. This tool was perfect for cleaning up nail holes and gouges in wood. I couldn't have done it without the pointed tip. There are no strong chemical smells, and I feel safe using my hands when using this product. Easy to clean- I like the fact that it can be easily cleaned without any sticky residue left behind. A smooth sanding compound that sticks well to wood surfaces.

I've seen this product used by others in a variety of home decore projects, so I'm looking forward to checking out how it performs on different.
