FamoWood40002142 Latex Wood Filler Walnut, Gallon, Net Wt 13.0 lbs

We had painters pressure wash our 80 year old cedar sided garage to remove the old paint and the washer blew off large splinters and chunks off the siding in a number of areas. We first tried to patch it with Durham's wood fill to save money, but it was tedious to mix, was a huge pain to sand, and ended up being very expensive because of how much we needed to use. (it is not a cost saver!) I finally switched to the Famowood and what a difference it made! One reviewer compared it to cake frosting and I completely agree. It went on incredibly smooth, allowed me to work it flush with a 4" or 6" putty knife before it dried and then it sanded off incredibly well. One day I wasn't able to get all of it covered with primer before 3 days and 8" of rain hit us, but it was completely fine after the storm, which leads me to believe that this is a very long term solution, especially once it's been primed and painted.I wish I had before pictures so you could see how badly the wood was damaged because you can't even tell that it was devastated by the pressure washer. I am a woodworker and this will officially be my go-to wood filler in the shop from now on!

Good features: No odor to speak of, unlike some epoxy wood repair materials. Spreads easily, with the consistency of stiff peanut butter. Dries fairly quickly, but not as fast as epoxy. Seems waterproof after it sets up, but I'd paint it or stain it rather than leaving it bare outdoors. Can be used in exterior as well as interior. Much easier to sand smooth than epoxy. Pretty much stays put even when applied fairly thickly.Not so good: Any application more than a thin coating will develop cracks as it sets up. Thick applications may take days to set up. So, plan on coming back to fill the cracks.

Extremely easy to spread and use. I have 150 year old beams that have some splits and powder post beetle damage in my basement. They've been treated to kill any remaining beetles and they recommended at the time of treatment that I use some wood filler to cover over the damage after using wood hardener to strengthen the beams again. This stuff is the only one of 3 brands I've tried that I can actually use upside down like I need to and it sticks perfectly! Some of the splits in the beams were even about 3" deep and I had no problem shoving a big glob of this stuff in and it dried hard as a rock after a few hours. It's actually harder than even the wood near it that was treated with the wood hardener. I can't comment on how well it works for outside uses with sun/water exposure as that's not my use case, but for anything in the house this is an incredible product, and by far one of the cheapest bulk wood fillers around!

I received this order quickly. It did arrive open. Someone along the way must have thrown it pretty hard to cause the lid to pop open. And the rough handling must have occurred closer to the time of delivery. Some of the spill was dry and hard, but most of it was still moist and pliable. The bucket was not split. The top was popped open in one spot and a small amount of filler spilled out. Not a problem. It's water based. I just scraped up the spill, put it back in the bucket, sealed the top properly and cleaned the outside of the bucket. It's all good.

Easy to use for cracks between old floorboards, with blue tape each side and some plastic putty knives. Dries a medium dark grey with pinkish tint. Sands and takes stain (I did a medium brown stain to get an overall dark brownish look). Time will tell if it will shrink or come back up—would be a miracle if it doesn't as everything else seems to. Works for up to 1/4" gap and dries in a day. More liquidy than Elmers—like a thick pancake batter.

Works good

This product was dried up on the top I think it has sat on a shelf too longBut after scraping the top off worked ok

Not for water, not for sun all cracked after 3 days
