                If using the white dap to fill brad nail holes in baseboards, does this need to be primed before adding the final coat of paint?
                ByDec 12, 2025
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Premium 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 contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

                  Very pleased with the DAP Premium Wood Filler. Used it to hide the grain on some dated bi-fold slab doors that I converted to 5-panel. I added a bit of water and applied a couple layers sanding between coats. Worked great!

                  DOES NOT HOLD UP OUTDOORS
                  I bought this based on the product claiming to be useful outdoors and that it will not "shrink, crack, or fall out". I applied to an outdoor project per the instructions, let it cure for 24 hours and then painted. Less than two months later and nearly everything I used it for is cracking and falling apart.

                      This stuff works well. I do accent walls and use this to fill the brad nail holes and this generally dries well after an hour to be ready to sand and then paint.

                      Cracked Immediately
                      Bought this to fill in some gaps after screening in my porch. It was easy to work with and looked good while drying. However, when I went out this morning to sand it I found that it cracked. It looks awful. Now I feel like my only option is to spend a bunch of time chipping it out and redoing it with a better product.

                        I had a 2 inch hole in the inside frame on my front door it was hit and didn’t want to replace the whole frame and I found this product and wow this wood putty is amazing and it pretty much matched regular standard white paint but I decided to repaint it anyways the hole was about 2 inches wide and it was gouged in and I filled it in with this wood putty about 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock at night and by 8 o’clock in the morning it was dry hard as a rock and I took white paint and covered it

                          This is the best wood filler I have used to date. I had 2 areas to repair instead of replacing the whole run of plywood and 1x6. I am sure the areas repaired are much larger than DAP recommends, but with several layers allowed to dry completely, I was able to fill the gaps and sand to a smooth finish. I have found my new putty

                          Bubbled up after sanding. Seems like it did not bond to the wood. Interior application. I now have to find a different type a filler and spend more work on this section.

                          Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP Premium Wood Filler. With respect to your commentary indicating “Bubbled up after sanding. Seems like it did not bond to the wood. "would signal that the surface may not have been properly prepared (a bond-breaker was present: dust, wax, grease, oil, moisture, etc.).

                            Not for exterior use
                            Do not use this for outdoor furniture. Within a couple weeks it bubbled, cracked, and made me realize what a waste of money this stuff was.

                            Thank you for posting your inquiry. DAP Premium Wood Filler is not designed or recommended for use as a "stand alone" product for exterior and/or moisture exposed applications, nor is it designed or recommended for use where joint movement may occur. As indicated on the product instructions for use: "FINISHING: Exterior applications must be coated with latex or oil-based paint or solid color stain." Likewise, other similar waterproof coatings such as exterior rated varnishes and polyurethanes are also considered appropriate. For stand-alone performance, we would recommend the use of DAP Platinum Patch.

                              I bought this product because I need to fix a few trim spots in my house. This stuff is easy to work with does seem to dry fast and you can manipulate it with your hand if needed a minute or so after applying. That being said it is very easy to sand but not quite sure how durable it’s going to be. I like the tough stuff something that’s not gonna break off if your kid kicks it by accident or you drop something on it. I’m a pro-amateur
