Answer This Question
A: Thank you for reaching out, Ronald. Rust-Oleum Varathane Wood Putty can not be sanded because it does not harden. If you need something you can sand and stain, then we suggest using Rust-Oleum Varathane Wood Filler instead.

Answer This Question
A: We're happy to help, Gene. We believe the color of Rust-Oleum Varathane Wood Putty that closest matches our Briarsmoke Wood Stain is our Dark Walnut. You may also mix different colors different color putties to create a custom color that more closely resembles your surface. Alternately, our Varathane Classic Wood Filler may be used prior to staining, since this is a stainable filler.

Q:I used The Varathane American Walnut stain. Wish they made a wood putty to match their stain. I have tried their stick filler. The color doesn't match and the product is too hard. Is there another product out there that would be a close match? Thanks.
