About This Product

DAP Plastic Wood-X All Purpose Wood Filler with DryDex Dry Time Indicator goes on pink and dries to a natural, wood finish that confirms it's ready to sand. This patented technology eliminates the guesswork and reduces the chance of errors. Ready-to-use, thick knife-grade formula spreads easily for fast, professional repairs and can be applied on vertical surfaces. Wood grain filler is ideal for filling nail holes, gouges, cracks, scratches and imperfections on any wood surface. DAP plastic wood filler can be sanded, planed, cut, drilled, screwed or nailed. It's stainable, paintable and won't shrink crack or crumble.

Highlights

  • Easy-to-use, latex-based formula can be planed, cut, drilled, screwed, nailed, sanded, stained and painted, unlike many wood putty fillers
  • Drydex dry time indicator goes on pink and dries natural providing confirmation the product is dry for easy wood repairs
  • Clean up by wiping off excess filler from surface and tools with a damp cloth before material dries, dried wood filler must be sanded or scraped away
  • Low odor, thick, knife grade formula can be molded and sculpted allowing it to fill any shape imperfection
  • Allow to dry thoroughly before sanding: approximately 2 to 6 hours for shallow fills up to 1/8 in. and 36 hours for deeper fills 1/4 in. and over
  • May be painted with latex-based paint immediately after sanding, or after 12 hours if using an oil-based paint
  • Exterior applications must be coated with latex or oil-based paint or solid color stain to protect repair

    Answer This Question

    Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Plastic Wood-X. Plastic Wood-X can be used on most wood and wood-based products, however, given that MDF (the core material of these cabinets), particleboard and similar engineered wood products can often be unstable (friable, prone to flake/crumble), a test application to verify acceptable adhesion/performance would be recommended. Should you have additional questions or require additional guidance, please feel free to contact DAP Technical Customer Service at 888-327-8477.

          Can I screw into this product once it is dry?

          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Plastic Wood-X All-Purpose Latex Wood Filler. This product is designed, marketed, and labeled for use on minor cosmetic repairs, such as: nail/screw holes, cracks, etc. (not for deep/large format repairs). When filling deep, but narrow defects (such as a screw/nail hole), the filler must be “packed” into the hole a thin layer at a time, with a drying interval between. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "4. One application is usually sufficient for small repairs. For repairs deeper than 1/8”, apply two or more layers allowing spackling to dry between applications. Of note: Depending on the size of the repair (width/depth of the hole) and the fasteners that you intend to drive into the wood filler, drilling pilot holes prior to driving your wood screws may be necessary (much like drilling a pilot hole in solid wood prior driving a wood screw, to prevent cracking/splitting). Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

              Answer This Question

              TThank you for posting your inquiry. DAP Plastic Wood (All Versions) is not internally water resistant; accordingly, it relies on secondary coatings (paint, solid stain or other waterproof coating) for its water resistance. No water exposure should occur until after the product has fully dried and been properly coated. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: “Exterior applications and applications subject to water exposure must be sealed with a waterproof coating.” Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

                    Thank you for posting your feedback DAP Plastic Wood-X All-Purpose Latex Wood Filler. Plastic Wood (All Versions) is designed and tested for both stain and paint/coating compatibility/performance. With respect your commentary indicating “This product is not paintable or stainable as stated”, as indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: “APPLICATION: May be painted with latex-based paint immediately after sanding, or after 12 hours if using an oil-based paint. Exterior applications and applications subject to water exposure must be sealed with a waterproof coating. Exterior applications must be coated with latex or oil-based paint or solid color stain. If wood is to be stained, stain before filling with wood filler. Then use stain to develop desired final finish.” Because you did not provide any details about your project/attempted use of the patch or the paint/finishing process, it is difficult to provide you with a more detailed response in this format.

                      Did not hold up as directions showed
                      Did not hold up outside after six full days of drying. On the 6th day it rained and everything turned soft as pudding. Waste of time and money.

                        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.

                          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

                          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!!
