      Q:What should I do if it dries up in the container? I only had it for a few weeks and used it once, then closed it tightly and stored away from light in regular conditions that are neither cold or hot.

                A:  We appreciate your interest, Franben. No, Rust-Oleum Varathane Wood Putty is intended for interior use only. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5

                by|Jul 1, 2019

                  A:  I have used it outside without a problem but I don't know for sure that it is recommended for outside use. Be aware that it does NOT harden. It is not the typical wood putty. It is more like white silicone caulk, but thicker.
