Not Stainable
I used this product to fill bee holes on my cedar home. We followed all the instructions. Stained the home and this product is not sustainable! This product is awful and when it dries it's even more awful because you can't remove it. I felt that Dap had been around for years so that I could trust it but my home is ruined. Not sure what I'm going to do. Do not buy this product! You will cry like I did. I never gives reviews but I wanted to warn others on this aweful product.

The bottom of the tube blew out on me while I was applying the wood filler. The wood filler did the job, but the packaging gave up too easily and I ended up wasting a good amount of wood filler.

Permanent unwanted stain
I built a tongue and groove natural wood accent wall and used this putty to cover the brad nailer marks. Put very little putty on each hole, sanded it down as usual, then wiped away the dust with a damp paper towel. It left a permanent stain on each mark. I’ve tried sanding it down more and used a construction stain remover with no luck. I regret using this wood putty after putting so much time and effort into one wall. Please don’t buy.

WOW so much better than Elmer's
I wish I had tried this product sooner, I love a good wood filler and love how quickly this stuff dried, sanded and looked when done, Also the dispenser toothpaste style is a 10 fold step up from a small plastic cup with lid that dries up on its own after 1 use. Including different tones to choose from (hint dries a little lighter than what's in the bottle)

This DAP plastic wood left a strange stain
This DAP wood filler left a purpleish stain in the edgebanding of my cabinets. It didn't go away. I had to remake three of the cabinets because of it. I called DAP about it and they said they would reimburse me for the filler. They suggested there was some type of contaminant in my shop. (No way) Normal wood shop conditions.
What about the hundreds I spent on plywood, edgebanding, etc. What about the time it took to cut and build them. Don't buy this stuff. Unless you like purple stains that won't sand away. Or rubbing alcohol away. The stain didn't go away.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP Plastic Wood All-Purpose Latex Wood Filler. Given that this product does not contain any "purple" colorants/pigments, if the product was not observed to have a "purple" color in the package upon breaking the tamper evident lid seal (to initially open the package for first use), it it is reasonable to conclude that the color you reference did not come from the wood filler. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this in more detail, or would like to submit you remaining product for evaluation, please contact DAP's Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Container Hard a rock 1 Month Later
The product dries up after being opened and becomes hard as a rock after only 1 use. Customer service helpless "add water to tube." Dap puts liability on Home Depot..."return it to HD and have them contact us." Waste of money! Elmer's wood filler lasts after being opened.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Plastic Wood All Purpose Wood Filler. Based on your commentary indicating: "The product dries up after being opened and becomes hard as a rock after only 1 use", it would appear to indicate that the package was not properly sealed following its last use. Even a small gap in the package lid/can seal will allow the liquid components to evaporate, causing the product to dry/thicken. This can also occur if the product is stored in poor conditions (elevated temperatures) and/or beyond its shelf life. Because you did not provide any details regarding your experience, it is difficult to provide you with a proper reply or any product usage guidance in this format. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional information from you about your experience.

It works but it will look weird for big holes
I had a really old Adirondack chair that was chewed by a squirrel in the arm rest. The product dried well and sanded fine. Because I had to add a bunch of material, when I painted over it looked weird like you can tell there is a patch there because it looks smooth. I guess the problem with a chair like mine is that the wood is not smooth thus it is easy to spot where the patch is under the paint. But is an easy solution and works great for cracks or smaller holes.

Half empty tube
Good product but don’t expect it to be as full as it seems. I had to squeeze it for so long, probably halfway, until all the air came out of the tube. Kinda cheating on the customer.

Thank you for posting your review. The DAP Plastic Wood Latex Wood Filler (Squeeze Tube) is filled by weight (NET WT.), not by volume (fl. oz.). The package that is used for this product is oversized for the fill weight contents to allow for a full evacuation of the contents. Should you have additional questions or require additional assistance, please feel free to reach out to DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.
