    How do you keep this from drying out after opening ? I have put it in a plastic bag, then a zip loc and then in another plastic bag. Still dries up.

      Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Plastic Wood- X All Purpose Wood Filler. Based on your commentary, it would appear to indicate that the package is not being properly sealed following its last use. Even a small breach/air gap between the packaging components (lid and cup) will allow the liquid in the formula to evaporate/escape, resulting in drying of the remaining portion of the filler. This can also occur if the product is stored in poor conditions, such as elevated temperatures and as the product ages (reaches its shelf life). If the product should thicken or is excessively dry, providing that the material was still pliable, a small volume of water may be added to the wood filler until a smooth/even texture/consistency is achieved. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional storage guidance.

        Do the areas on trim work that were patched with Plastic wood need to be primed before painting?
        ByNov 18, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Plastic Wood-X All Purpose Wood Filler. While priming is not typically required (from a product compatibility perspective), priming will increase the paint product's adhesion to the repaired area. Of note, many paint manufacturers recommend or require the use of primers prior to the application of top coat paint finishes. Please be sure to consult your paint manufacturer for guidance prior to proceeding. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

                  Answer This Question

                  Thank you for posting your inquiry. DAP Plastic Wood-X All-Purpose Latex Wood Filler can be used for minor cosmetic repairs on natural wood flooring. Areas that may be subject to abrasion/wear and or moisture must be protected with a surface coating, such as a high-quality polyurethane, that is "traffic rated" for flooring applications. As with any hard setting wood repair filler, it should not be applied to joints, seams, or other areas prone to movement. Should you have any additional questions or require additional application guidance, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

                    I used it on my basement steps for that exact purpose about 4 years ago, then immediately painted with floor paint. Cracks disappeared and no signs of wear so far.

                      Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                      Customers say that DAP Plastic Wood-X is an easy-to-use wood filler that features a color change indicator, turning from pink to natural wood color when dry. Many users appreciate its quick drying time and smooth application, making it suitable for filling nail holes and minor imperfections. However, some customers noted that it may not be stainable and can dry out quickly in the container, which affects usability. Overall, it is favored for indoor projects but has limitations for outdoor applications.

                      I like this stuff a lot for its versatility I use it whenever I have a damaged piece of trim or something I don't want to replace the whole piece I just do my best to match the shape it Sands down very easily and once it's painted you can't even tell the wood was damaged in the first place

                      Not for exterior
                      I was using this to repair some deck boards. Put the product on and it dried from pink to beige. All good. Then it rained a couple days later and the product swelled and even started to plop off. Not exterior rated!

                      Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Plastic Wood--X All Purpose Wood Filler. Plastic Wood is not designed or recommended for use as a "stand alone" product, as indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "Exterior applications must be coated with latex or oil-based paint or solid color stain”. Because you did not provide any background regarding your project, application technique or application conditions, it is difficult to provide a more detailed response. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional information regarding your experience. DAP
                        I used this product to fill in my screen heads on a Cornhole game I made with my son. It applies easily enough, let it dry then sand for a smoother look then finish it with your choice

                        Completely useless.
                        This product is completely useless from a professional point of view. I will never have 36 hours to wait for something to dry. Why even make this?

                        Response from DAPProductExpertMay 28, 2024
                        Thank you for posting your feedback. DAP Plastic Wood-X is an acrylic-latex (water-based) formula; accordingly, the sole drying mechanism is the evaporation of water. Dry time can be significantly impacted by cool or humid application conditions or by thick (deep) applications of the patch. As indicated on the product package label as well as supporting product literature: "For larger and deeper holes, apply thin layers to build up thick sections. Allow wood filler to dry before applying next layer. Allow to dry thoroughly before sanding: approximately 3 to 6 hours for shallow fills up to 1/8” and 36 hours for deeper fills 1/4” and over. DAP Plastic Wood-X and similar DAP wood fillers are specifically designed and recommended for use on minor/cosmetic repairs. DAP does not recommend this product or other similar wood filler products we offer for large format repair applications. For these types of repairs, the use of two component wood repair epoxies and their accessory primers would be recommended. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477. DAP

                          AMAZING Product for crown molding
                          AMAZING PRODUCT! Installed crown molding and used this product to fill the nail holes and where the MDF molding joined up. The only exception is that I used caulk for the corners since it will expand and contract to some degree. This stuff is super easy to apply using only my finger and wet wipes to smooth it down. Next, I used a very gentle sanding and touched up the paint. The crown molding turned out flawless and not a single joint is visible!! Could not possibly be happier with this product!!

                            It takes longer to dry than I had hoped. It sands well and is more durable than the less expensive wood fillers. I don’t think it is a great value for the price though.

                            Easy to work with
                            I really like how easy it is to work with DAP Plastic Wood-X. I trowel it on without worrying too much about getting a smooth surface because it's easy to sand after it cures. Instead I just ensure I get a good fill. The color changing feature makes it easy to know when it's time to sand. I have always covered the Plastic Wood-X with paint or fiberglass so I can't speak to how well it would stain and blend with a natural wood finish but it covers and holds up well with paint or fiberglass. It is easy to shape or clean up with water before it cures.
