Great stuff,easy too use.

Have used this filler for years. Down side is having to mix a small amount of hardener with it, but the results are good

The filler has to be mixed with a small amount of hardener. (Note - it is very smelly and very good ventilation is necessary.) Thereafter, you have to work very quickly as it very soon begins to go tacky and is very difficult to work with. The small plastic tool provided can be scraped clean once the filler has hardened but I use a cheap filler knife which can then be discarded. Once hardened, the filler can be sanded down and then painted. As long as you have done adequate preperation eg digging out as much rotten wood as possible and then treating what’s left with hardener, you will be achieve a good result,

This product works well, even for larger repair jobs on wood. I needed to repair my side gate which had a hole all the way through it, measuring approximately 30cm x 2cm. The filler was easy to mix and apply. I mixed up golf ball sized quantities and filled the hole up gradually after reading other reviews that said the substance set quite fast and this approach worked well. Within 20 minutes or so (on a dry day) the substance was completely hard and ready to sand down. I have just deducted one star for two reasons.1. When I tried to stain over the product, my Shed and Fence Preserver (which is a good quality brand) just kept running off and wouldn't adhere so I now have no hole in the gate but instead have an odd looking patch! My gate is rustic green so perhaps with hindsight I should I have chosen the dark coloured filler. So you may want to consider this before purchasing.2. Also, I have about half of the product left and have tried to reseal everything and make it air tight but it was so difficult getting the metal lid/insert off the top of the can when I initially opened it that it dented slightly when I prised it off with a screwdriver. I am therefore not sure if the remaining product will be usable next time I need it . . . time will tell.
