20 Best Filler For Wood Floors (2023 Updated)

I could not find a date on tube of Elmer’s Pro Bond Wood Filler tube. I was disappointed because as I squeezed the tube the fill would not come out. I cut wider and at an angle and still no luck. When the tube side gave way, I used what I could to fill my small holes.

What a mess. I do not recommend this product. I asked my man to get me the stuff in a tin but he did not listen to me and got me Elmer’s ProBond instead.

I had hoped that Elmers Probond Tinted Wood Filler would squeeze out of the tube like thick toothpaste and be easy to work with. My experience was a little different. The filler was very hard to squeeze out, even after enlarging the hole in the nozzle.

The wood filler was drier than I expected, giving less than a minute of working time. Maybe okay for small nail holes, (except I had to enlarge the nozzle) but difficult for larger dents. I will be pleasantly surprised if it isn’t dried up the next time I go to use it.

actually a common problem with many fillers.

Great for filling nail divets in pre primed trim. Water clean up. Need 2 applications for deeper holes, no paint touch up needed over filled holes. An Ace associate sold me a tub of brown wood filler and said to use a small brush w/white primer to cover the brown filler.

Seriously? He didn’t know this product existed. Google did.

I tried out a small practice piece of wood before I use on our kitchen cabinets. They’re a dark stain, and I mixed a tiny bit with some of the DAP Premium Wood Filler with Color Blend Technology. I used a little deglosser on the wood.

I had mostly pretty shallow nail holes to fill, and a little bit of small cracks on one edge. After mixing a small amount of the filler with the stain, I applied it with a small plastic putty knife. Overfilled just a tad, let it dry for a couple of hours and then lightly sanded.

It looks good and blends in well with the original color of the cabinets. Plus, when we get ready to paint these cabinets they’ll be nice and smooth already. I’m not sure if the product will dry out in the tub, the lid seems ok, but we’ll see.

Thank goodness for this product! As my floor boards have shrunk over the years creating gaps in between, this product is the perfect filler! Just match the color of your flooring, put a bit on your finger tip and fill the gap! Simple and easy fix! Love it!!.

This fill putty is oil based as opposed to others which are water based. The result is a superior color match as well as superior longevity. The water based versions firm up much too fast in the plastic container.

I’ve never had a problem with excess residue to its oil base. I find it wipes as clean as other brands.

I own a cabinet shop and fill a lot of holes. This product works better than anything else I have tried. It does not get hard for a long time. Can be mixed with mineral oil if it gets too stiff. You can mix colors to get a custom match if needed.

Stain, seal, putty holes, finish. Works great!.

This wood filing kit is exactly what I needed to do a quick repair on our kitchen counter trim piece. The corner of the trim had gotten bumped pretty hard are cracked about 4 inches down the middle. This crack was very noticeable and was going to be expensive to replace.

I took the wood filler kit and was able to fill in the crack evenly and waited till it was ready to be painted. Once I painted over the wood filler with white paint to match the trim the crack was no longer even noticeable The repair time took 5 minutes to fix and I waited a day just to be safe before painting over it.

The overall results are great for such a simple and easy to use kit.

Wow , this Gorilla wood filler is so super easy to use. All you have to do is squirt some where you need it. Very easy to spread. It’s permanent and Crack resistant. Perfect to hold screws into a hole that may be a little bit too big.

We used it to cover screw heads on a coffee table. It’s pretty smooth so didn’t need to sand paper it after before painting. This will be what wood filler I purchase in the future for all my projects.

Quality is great and super good value.

Had a frying pan handle that was accidentally damaged. This filler did the job and the color matched very well that is very hard to see where the handle had the original damage. It doesn’t dry instantly so it allows you to apply and mold it as needed.

Once it dries in a few hours it can be sanded to a nice finish. It worked great and once dried it is quite solid and feels very durable.

This tube comes very handy for small house project, kids class work and filling nails hole in wall. I recently used this to fill few of the nails patch in my old bedroom where i need to change painting position.

Fixed few old furniture and applied wood filler evenly on the surface on cracks to give new finished looks. Loved it.

I love all the products that Gorilla Glue makes including this one. I had a dresser that had some screw holes in it that I needed to patch. This was perfect for the job. Easy to apply, sand and paint.

You can’t even see where I patched it. I would definitely buy this again.

I do a lot of 3D printing with PLA filament mainly and before painting the terrain features, it is often necessary to get rid of ridge lines and such using the Elmer’s Wood Filler. I have some very large structures, and so it can take a while to cover them with the Wood Filler.

I purchase the small containers because once it starts to turn dry it will turn color. If you have a large container the catalyst is in the filler that is invariably going to dry, and if you don’t use all of that large container, then a lot of it is often wasted.

If you purchase a bunch of the smaller ones, then far less is lost, and usually you can pace your work for your models by using a jar at a time. This approach has worked well for me.

This is amazing. You just take a little bit and use a scraper to fill in an area where some veneer has come off older furniture. I let it dry overnight then went over it with a wood stain paint and you cannot tell I had repaired my antique buffet at all.

No horrid odors either and cleans up with soap and water if you make a mistake.

This is a good product. Its a small container. Bigger is better! So get the bigger one if you plan on doing a lot of filling. By a lot I mean I did three door hinge holes and about 6 cabinet small cabinet knob holes and isn’t much left.

I will go bigger and buy it again.

I ordered 12 bottles of this product. The product worked great for shallow holes, but not for extra large fill holes. Two (2) bottles of DAP did not harden in extra large fill holes after 1 week indoors at 70 degree temperature.

Very disappointing, extra work digging out and time lost on project. However, the product does stain well and application was easy to apply and sanded well.

The DAP Plastic Wood Latex Wood Filler helps fix any issue you have with wood. for good! This product works very well! It is easy to spread and fills any crevice or nook in wood like a champ. The filler stays malleable and is not messy when working on your project.

The product dries very quickly and hardens completely in no time. I had no trouble sanding the product and even painting it. The Dap Wood Filler seems very durable and hopefully it will stand many uses and abuse.

It made my vintage picnic table look brand new again! I would buy this fantastic product again and again with no hesitation. Dap has made another high quality premium product that helps DIY’ers complete any project with confidence.

I was aware of this product and have used other competitor products. Never again. This Dap product surpasses any others I have tried in the past in terms of quality, ease of use, and performance. The DAP Plastic Wood Latex Wood Filler fills every need I have for my DIY projects and then some! I would recommend the DAP Plastic Wood Latex Wood Filler to a friend.

It is a premium quality product that gets the job done. and then some!.

I have found DAP Plastic Wood to be the best wood putty thus far. I prefer the mixture from the tube though. The consistency is better than that of the 16 oz. square tubs. The product in the square tub dries out way too quickly for my use.

I have used the tube to repair dings and nicks in our siding and to fill the gaps where the sheets of siding meet. I am also able to form/sculpt a ‘wood grain’ finish in areas of the siding that required extensive sanding which removed the wood grain effect.

My husband brought home a competing brand of wood filler in a tube, it cost more, performed poorly and was more like sawdust mixed with a bit of glue. It wouldn’t even stick to anything.

I have used a lot of Timbermate over the years and I have found it one of the most versatile wood fillers around. To David from Melbourne, who gave it 1 star, you can add water to it when it dries out and it as good as the day you bought it.

I have added water to this product after not using it for 2 years and it worked perfectly. Another tip, if you want to fill large holes, do it in stages of thickness no deeper than 3mm and then add more, when each stage has dried.

It’s always a good idea to seal it , if putting it out in the weather. I am an average handyman but I find if you’re going to do anything unfamiliar, read instructions or do some research first.

I used Timermate for a grain filler on small vanity before trying it on my kitchen cabinets. I’m glad I did. The stuff worked great at filing the grain but the smell is terrible. I didn’t mind the smell so much when I opened the container b/c it smells kind of like a band-aid/medicinal.

After putting a coat of primer and 3 thin coats of pain on the cabinets they look great. but the odor is like a nursing home. and not a clean one. I have ordered a different grain filler to try one the kitchen cabinets.

I have about 3 8oz containers of Timbermate left over.

This is a very light colour. If your jarrah sees any sun, it’ll darken, and this filler will really stand out. I added some black paint in mine which made it a much better colour match. Also if you use it outside, it will dissolve in the rain.

This is a good hard two part wood filler which could be just what is required for filling holes damaged wood. However it does go off in about 10 mins once the hardener is added and becomes difficult to use before that.

It therefore has to be applied very quickly. Once in place it is adheres very well – too well to the surrounding area! – is easy to scrape or chisel off surface but, again you don’t have very long to do this.

I used it to fill a series of nail holes and it is probably the wrong product for that.

In my opinion, Liberon Wood filler has a good texture, easy to apply, dries on fast but with enough time to aptly apply the product. I was please at the fast number of shades available and their effectiveness.

Did the job perfectly and it was nice not to have mix in hardener. Will buy again.

I bought this to repair some 2x6s, used in a bridge over a small wash, which had cracked in places. I cleaned out the cracks with a Dremel tool to provide solid wood for this to bond to. I used it the day after I bought it.

When opened, there was a thin film of liquid on top of the material. I mixed it in well. When I attempted to repair the cracks, the material would not fill the voids and smooth out. It was too stiff.

After 10 minutes of pushing harder and harder on the putty knife in an attempt to make good looking repairs I gave up and threw the container away. I am a very experienced do-it-yourselfer, and have made such repairs countless times.

I recieved this for free in exchange for my honest review through viewpoints/ PowerReviews! I love diy and he love in a home that was harshly lived in before we got here. I couldn’t tell hou how many gouges and missing pieces there are throughout the whole house.

For this review, I have chosen to only focus on my using this to help repair the underside of my french doors would had a serious 5 inch gash on the bottom. First I scraped away any flaking wood and deglossed the area so i would have clean template to work with; next I started with the first layer of the DAP Wood filler and let it dry over night, the next day I added another layer and let it dry for half the day and then added another layer.

It is definitely key to make sure to allow each layer to completely dry! Thankfully My dad has worked with a similar putty and guided me a bit but the directions on the back are pretty clear. There was no expansion that i could tell, it was like a hard plastic and was super easy to sand down with a bit of patience.

I highly recommend fine grit sandpaper for this part. I have yet to figure out what i want and with winter here, i can’t really work on the gash on the other side but I am very happy with DAP. Next year I’ll know if it can take a stain like it says it can.

I also would like to mention, this should work way easier on a small project than what I accomplished, but why not out it text right! I docked it a star because right now only time will tell how well it stays in place and replaced the missing wood; as of now I am quite impressed and highly recommend for any Do it yourselfer like me.

I use DAP Plastic Wood Filler to repair wood trim in my rental units. Tenants are notorious for putting holes in the wood work for everything from window treatments to hanging potted plants. Even though you tell them to put holes in the plaster instead, many do not listen so I am often filling holes in woodwork after move-out to make things look nice for the next tenant.

This wood filler works quite well for small applications and is best for sanding and painting to look seamless. In larger applications, even after following instructions for multiple coats to build up thickness and allowing adequate time for drying between, it still isn’t the most effective fill product because it tends to pull away from the edges as it shrinks and moves different from the wood through natural thermal cycling.

It also is pretty obvious when stained that it is a patch since it doesn’t take stain the same way the surrounding wood does. Most of the competition behaves the same way, so it’s not that this product is not as good as others, it just advertises a bit more than is practical for use if you want a nice looking finished product.

I’m happy with it. I like all the color options. Good price. Goes on before a finish is placed. Sands easily. Planes reasonably well. Until something better comes along, I’ll be using this

I had a lot to fill so didnt know whether to buy a small or large tin. On seeing the tin thought there would be plenty; the tin is only half full! On the plus side it went further than I thought so there was enough.

To mix it says use a pea size of hardener to a golf ball of filler. Think very small pea! I used it outside on a hot dry day so that could have had an effect but it had to be in place within 10 minutes.

You’ll get 10 – 12 balls of putty, depending on how big you think a golf ball is. Work quickly and it’s very easy to use, hardens quickly and is super easy to sand smooth and level. I suggest wear gloves & use a different mixing pot each time, even the unhardened putty is dificult to get off anything it touches.

The filled area needs more coats of stain than the surrounding wood, to blend in fully. All told, a very good product, fills deep holes, easy to get a good finish. I would deffinitely use again now I’ve had experience.

Having just moved to a new home where I have 4 heavy wooden gates which unfortunately have seen better days. After reading previous reviews which honestly gave great advice I set about repairing the gates rather than a very costly replacement.

Started by removing loose rotting wood and applying the wet rot wood hardener I was ready to start the filling process. I mixed the filler as stated, working the filler into the various areas. You need to be quick as it really does set fast.

sanded it down later that day and finally coated the gate with a 10 year weatherproof gloss paint. You wouldn’t even know there had been rotting wood there. If a 55year old female can do this anyone can.

Repaired half-glazed wooden door. DeWalt multi tool saw ideal to cut out the soft/rotten wood. Large, deep hole filled quickly and easily. Plywood panel then fitted over whole bottom half of door, covering some of the filled area, then further minor filling of hollows and final sanding before painting, two coats Sadolin Antique Pine to match rest of door.

Filler takes this finish well and door doesn’t look conspicuously patched. Third coat should make it hard to detect. Good sound repair. Much easier than replacing the whole door and a fraction of the cost.

Useful product!.

About 10 years ago, we finished our bare Civil War-era heart pine floor with Pure Monocoat. And truly, the oil has been remarkable given the fact that we did not maintain properly! Using the woodfiller, I was able to do some repairs to nail head holes and other needy areas.

I did have to find stain to color the medium woodfiller to the appropriate color, but besides that, it was easy to use, hardened well, and accepted the oil.

I liked that you can mix to the consistency you like, it sands well and takes the oil pretty well, though some pigment gets stuck in the fills. The major down side is that if you use the filler before finishing, it stains anywhere it touches and takes quite a bit of sanding to remove.

This was with the medium tone on Doug fir.

Okay, the good news is that this stuff dries very hard. The bad news is that it dries very hard. What I mean is that for a very strong hard filler, this is great. The problem is, it is more difficult to sand than other comparable fillers.

If you just want to fill a few scratches and be able to sand them easily, this may not be your first choice. Although, to be fair, smaller repairs aren’t too bad to sand. I’ve used it to fix some gouges and heavily damaged wood, and let me tell you, it is hard as a rock.

Difficult to sand compared to other wood fillers I have used, but definitely stronger and I would assume more durable. I use this filler for projects I know are going to need a really strong repair, while I use another brand that is easier to sand for smaller things like nail holes and small patch jobs.

Product has good consistency, spreads and fills well. Accepts paint well, but contrary to label claim it does NOT accept stain. If you are looking to refurbish and overpaint, then this product is acceptable.

However, if you wish to stain, this product is unacceptable. I would not recommend this product as there are many other products available that will accept stain well.

A good product useful for woodworking and other projects where a hard, durable filler would work. Major issue is the solvent, which evaporates quickly, which gets the job done but also means it dries out in the can even if the lid’s on tight.

I get around that by adding a small amount of acetone time to time, then it lasts for years. It’s as good as brand name products re: applying, no wood filler is really any easier to use. If you don’t apply too thickly, and sand down any excess, it works just fine.

I just remodeled two bathrooms in my home and am handling the prep and paint myself. I wanted something less toxic than what is purchased in the big hardware stores. This worked really well. Filled easily and was easy to sand.

Painted nicely too. It is a powder you mix with water until you got a putty consistency. The great part is that as you are filling nail holes and cracks, if it begins to get too hard in your mixing container just add a bit more water to get back to the desired consistency.

No waste! I couldn’t detect any smell either.

Very nice all in one kit!
