Maple/Beech/Pine Hardwood Wood Filler 8oz Jar

The color of this wood filler is a perfect match for the birch plywood I'm working with. It spreads on easily and sands down very well. The only complaint is the expense, which it about double other fillers. But because the color is so spot on, it's worth the money to me.

This product provides a strong wood repair, and is easy to shape. It is expensive, but worth it for fine or valuable wood repair like furniture or guitar chips. The color is more yellow than natural clear maple, but it takes stains and finishes well

After seeing various woodworkers praise this on YouTube, I got it to try. It's excellent, but I warn you, it stinks big time. It dries quickly, hard as a rock and is easy to sand and it takes stain and paint well. I originally applied it with a putty knife. I saw John Heisz from I Build It use a box cutter for smaller areas and that works better for me than a putty knife. Any leftovers you can add back to the container and use it later. There are a variety of colors for the various woods. I tossed out my other wood filler/wood putty.

This is a great product. It does not shrink. You can re-constitute it with water. Dries quickly. Sands easily. However, I was under the impression that you could stain it, if you bought the corresponding color. I was mistaken. I read one comment that said the "white" could not be stained. So, at a minimum, I'm confused. I was able to darken it somewhat. But it did not receive the stain like natural wood. I made a "batter" with it to use as a grain filler on a casket. As a grain filler, it worked great! But it made the staining very blotchy. I had to deep sand the whole project and give up on staining it altogether. Lesson learned. I would advise anyone to do more research. I would give it 5 stars, except for the above issue.

Works well for woodworking projects - I now have three colors & am happy with it !!

Other than delivery which is not the product’s fault, THIS is the best!I was trying to keep a pine t&g finished natural with just a matte poly, so I was using the sawdust and glue method which oxidized and dried dark. This would have been fine if I was staining. This has really saved my ass. You cannot even tell it’s there! It was beyond easy to use, reconstitutes with water for easy application and clean up. Had tight corners that would only allow to spread with a fingertip easily, cleaned excess with a wet paper towel and I probably wouldn’t even need to sand. I have used this before with great results, but never expected it to take a matte finish with natural pine so well. Like I said, it’s the best! Could not be happier unless it was a vat! But a little goes a long way. An must in any woodworking abode.

The Timber Mate products are great, have used their wood fillers for years. WAY better than the alternatives. Easy to apply, dry's quick and sands smooth easily. Water based, so easy clean up and if the filler starts to stiffen in the container, just a few drops of water bring it back to life. Great stuff.

Saw this on a youtube video for patching wood. Wish I had known about this a long long time ago. This stuff is so convenient. Goes on easily, dries quickly, sands easily, reconstituted with water, takes a stain - what more can you ask for?As for the people who don’t like the smell - I did not find it especially difficult to tolerate. It’s far less obnoxious than walking past the tire section at Costco, and the smell goes away once it’s dried.
