NickNC100: Used it to repair a fence post and gate where the latch attaches. Has held up well in all kinds of weather.

New York Designer: This product is notorious for the lid popping off during shipment and having the filler spill all over, not just from Amazon but from other vendors as well. The container design is not designed well for shipping. Amazon has finally listened to my complaint, and probably others, and has now taped the lid securely before shipping, thank you! As for the product, I have been using it for years and highly recommend it for filling holes in wood and have used it for garage door dings, window rot and decking posts gouges. It can be layered for deep holes as well.

LLD: Works great. Be advised, after you fill an area with this substance you'll want to smooth it off with a damp rag or damp paper towel. If you leave excess and plan to sand it off that will work too, but you will go through a lot of sandpaper ; ) This filler dries super hard - much moreso than typical wood-fill or vinyl spackle. It appears to contain small wood fibers, which may be part of the reason for this. As to staining, I've found that it takes stain well enough for my purpose and no worse than any wood filler. If colormatch is important to you, you may want to purchase a filler that is already tinted. I highly recommend this product.

UPDATE: I'm reducing my rating to 4 stars, only because of the poor container. I buy to get the best price, which means I'll use it now and have it on the shelf when I need it. However, the lid doesn't seal well at all. Its not like you have to be careful to fully seal it. It is not possible to achiever a good seal. What you don't use will dry hard as a rock. So, regardless of good bulk prices, I recommend you buy only what you think you'll need. I like the square container (easier to scrape out with a putty knife or taping knife), but...

Marshall David WahlstromHelgren: Elmer’s wood putty is a wonderful product, I only bought this because it cleans up with water and not chemicals. It’s easy to use you can use your finger or a putty knife, I go back and forth between the two. The sheerness is pretty good I’ll admit depending on where you store it and the temperature of the said storage environment it may feel a little dry but since it’s water soluble if you add water it will help give it better sheerness might take longer to dry but it will stick better. I do wish it was a tad stickier most of the time it sticks perfectly, but I’ve had moments like I was putting a chair back together and one of the dowels for a leg spindle that connected the legs together. Well part of the wood dowel broke leaving half a dowel normally I’d attempt to glue the broken wood that came off and I tried that but I couldn’t get the clamp to stay still, so I threw the broken part away and put wood putty in it’s place and formed the putty into the same shape as the dowel was originally. But then the harden putty just fell off but I think it was too dry, so I’m going to try again since I’m getting more. In one case it worked for a top seat spindle and the...

Ron Mighton: A very good product. I used it to fill in some badly carved area of my totem pole. It worked perfectly.
