Questions & Answers

Does this product come in dry powder form or is it pre-mixed?

There was no dry powder in this. This was premixed. In my 87 years as a senior do-it-yourselfer (! ), I love projects like these! This program was very helpful in helping me get two jobs done at medium sizes. As soon as it dried, it filled in the holes. On the recommendation of a local timber yard, I bought two boxes one from Amazon, the other from a local timber yard. When you do not use the mixture all at once, I found it useful to push it down off the sides of the box, cover it with a thin piece of plastic, and have it barely touch the top of the mixture. This month.

Is it possible to use Rust-Oleum to refinish without grout lines in the shower and to fill in the grout lines in the toilet?

It is not recommended that you use this product to fill in tile grout lines in a shower. Thank you for your understanding.

What is the right temperature to use this product in order to seal gaps between planks in a deck and what color do I need to use it?

The gaps that you refer to are unclear to me. Is what you have in mind the 3/16-inch spaces between the deck boards or just a few gouges in the deck? It would never be a good idea to use something like this to fill gaps between boards outside, or anywhere else where temperature and humidity may change. If you didn't have wood filler in your budget, you would have to spend a fortune. I would rip strips of wood and fit them together if I had to do something like that. A wood filler can be used on small holes or gouges, or on very thin cracks, like I said. Despite what you might claim, I cannot understand clearly what you are trying to accomplish.

It becomes waterproof once it dries, isn't it?

It is not the case It is not enough on its own. The dried powder can be stored in a container for months and then mixed with hot or warm water to bring it back to life. When used with a little waterproof glue, I have used it indoors as well as outdoors, so it is a handy tool to carry around.

You have a good point there! It was easy to apply Elmer's E891 to the rotted wood at the base of the post, it dried quickly, sanded smooth, and the new paint stuck very well to it
5/5

In the end, I'm very pleased with the results and recommend this product to others who need to repair small wood damage.

Does this product not exist elsewhere? If it is used alone, Elmer's interior/exterior wood filler will eventually succumb to weather and woodpeckers outside
4/5

I began mixing exterior glue with the filler and that extended the life, but that only worked for small areas due to its too runny consistency. My next step was to add dry sand to the mixture to get it into Sand can fill large holes, and its drying speed is rapid, so it can smooth out rough surfaces. is stiff and hard to sand, but is relatively easy to If you are a handyman who has an old house, take advantage of it while you can As far as I know, there is no better product.

I appreciate their ease of working with me
5/5

A smooth, easy-to-spread product that does not dry out when it arrives. In order to see how well the leftover putty holds up, I waited a brief time after using it. Although it's been several weeks since it opened, it's still looking good. It has also held up for several weeks now and I see no signs of shrinkage or warping, so I will continue to replace the 2x4's sitting on top of the patch for A few areas under a toilet were damaged by water, so it was used on those areas. A while back, I used another brand of skin moisturizer that was very good, but it was so thick and sticky that it was hard to work with. There was much less work to be done with this. The only reason I bought this one is that it shipped much faster than the one that I used previously. To begin with, I just wanted to stick with the same product, as I was already familiar with it. This product would be a good choice for me in the future.

I found it to be effective
5/5

Despite my lack of experience, I don't consider myself a professional. However, there were a few holes on the deck behind my house that the dog kept chewing at. In order to fill it out, I got this. The majority of the burns were healed in a few hours even when it was a bit chilly. I found it to be very useful for what I needed.

The material dries quickly! My furniture was being made with rustic furniture so I used that to fill cracks prior to staining and sealing it
5/5

A good start A thin layer of the paint covers cracks, doesn't shrink, dries quickly. Spreads easily. Here are some of the bad things The fabric dries really quickly and even though the package says it absorbs stains, it does not. It is true that I was using this in South Texas in summer, so it was around 100F and sufficiently humid that the ducks were able to pretend to swim while walking around. In spite of this, it only took me 30 seconds from scooping some paste from the container to the point where it was too dry and crumbly to use. It's important to scoop a small amount and press it quickly into place. I also would like to mention that In the beginning steps of the project, you cleaned up and put away the filler, so when you're finished sanding and staining.

A strong, high-quality product The filler is easy to work with and is of good quality
5/5

Several years ago, I purchased two wooden end tables and decided to makeover them. Using this product enabled me to accomplish that. While they looked similar at first, they did not look like each other due to carvings on the legs. To make the end tables match, I intended to fill in the carved areas, sand them, and then paint them and add new drawer pulls (matching the pulls on the end tables). In my closer examination when it was time to fill the carvings, I noticed that the wood used in building the end tables was coarse in spots, with many flaws ranging from minor dents I am pleased with the results this product has provided for me in all of these areas. You can spread it down easily with a palette knife, and you can squish it down to fill in minor imperfections in Having learned that this wood filler contains actual pieces of wood to increase the strength and durability of the fill, I was very impressed. Getting acquainted with the product and how to apply it as quickly as possible will help you work faster. Since it dries very quickly, it's important to learn how to apply it. So far, the adhesive is good, and I have barely used any of the container, so I hope that it stays pliable enough so that I will be able to reuse it in other projects in the future!.

The color of the wood is in no way close to natural
3/5

I had to laugh when I heard this item could be stained. If you stain it, it will come out well. However, I do not remember working with any wood that was of this color. Drying resulted in a gray color. It would have been better if I had used the sawdust and glue trick or use my standard The box shop was closed, and it would take a long time to drive to the Unfortunately, I made a mistake. In this case, you should use paint if you plan on painting your piece. If you plan to stain anything, find another place to do it.

Restorations can be done with this product
5/5

My grandparents had a bench that needed work. I was restoring it. Despite its high gaping crack, it still looked like new. After each coat has dried, apply 3 more coats and sand. There is no way to tell that was there because it filled right in. This is a very user-friendly product. I highly recommend it.
