This is probably the best wood filler I’ve used for filling deep holes. I cutout some old treads in a stair case remodel and used this to fill the slots in integrated slotted stringer. Sanded smooth as butter and hard as a rock,

Awful color matching; didn't take stain.
I'm sure this product is fine for projects that will be painted, but do not attempt to match an existing wood with it and stain it. The "red oak" is a clay red; looks nothing like unfinished red oak. I assumed it must dry lighter than it looks on the tube. Nope-- what you see is what you get. I thought sure staining it would help. It did not take my General Finishes water-based stain at all.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Plastic Wood All Purpose Wood Filler. Given that there is no industry standard color for "Red Oak", we recommend visually matching the color-coded tip to your application surface/s in order to ensure suitability. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: Finishing/Staining Guidance: 1. Surface to be filled must be clean, dry and unglazed for best adhesion. Wood, wood filler and air temperature should be 40F. or above. 2. Match wood filler color to finished wood. Test wood filler, stain and finish combination on a small area first to ensure desired stain color. 3. If wood is to be stained, stain before filling with wood filler. Then use stain to develop desired final finish. Please follow stain manufacturer’s instructions for application. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

This is a plastic type filler that works great. After 2 days of curing/setting, you can sand or scrape access and reapply to build up beyond the eighth inch application. Plus it can be painted.

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.
