FamoWood 36141116 Original Wood Filler - 1/4 Pint, Fir

I have used 3 other brands of filler in the last year. Elmers, Minwax, and one I can't recall. Miserable failures. All three of them, when they dried they shrunk. Leaving cracks on cracks. I read a review on this Famowood brand and decided what the heck. One more try. Right away I saw a difference in the consistency. It was much easier to smooth into a crack or a groove. It dried quick, with no shrinkage. Then it sanded great. The next question: how was it going to handle stain. Again, I was surprised. It was a breeze. I hate to ever say something is perfect, but this is darn close. I'm pretty sure nothing will work any better than this brand.

In doing a lot of remodel work, I've had to use wood putty to cover up a blem or two. I've been frustrated by many different brands, but this one just seems to work. You give it a good mix, and it has a great consistency that goes into place and doesn't roll back out. It dries very quick - you'll quickly learn to not get such a large amount on your knife at a time! It accepts stain better than any I've used as well. I bought a few different colors and have had good luck mixing my own shades when necessary. I've used it on millwork, floors, under paint, varnish, stain, tung oil, poly, and it has held up great. I'm a big fan of this product. Oh, and if it dries out, you can refresh it with the Famowood solvent, but I've had good luck just using acetone.

Good stuff.....no shrinkage......."That's what she said."

poor color match and rather dried out..

good wood filler, similar to Plastic Wood.
