Water-Based Wood & Grain Filler - Red Oak - 1 Quart By Goodfilla | Replace Every Filler & Putty | Repairs, Finishes & Patches | Paintable, Stainable, Sandable & Quick Drying.

Terrific Product. I have been using good products with satisfaction for many years. I ordered on line for convenience and chose to try this product. The Best Ever!! It is smooth and applies easy. Once dried, finishes off as if nothing was there. I have repaired small nail head holes to repaired very large, major repairs. This material works like no other. Since my first purchase, I have bought the large size. Works indoors and outdoors. I highly recommend.

Creamy, not gritty like others I have used. Goes on easily. Dries in no time. Sands like a dream. Although not always quite a perfect match, takes stain soooo much better than any I have used in the past. After I am done staining, if there are any areas that I would like to be a little darker, I lightly daub then with a stain marker, wipe it off immediately and repeat if necessary. It's a very close match without touching it up, but I am a perfectionist. Everything I have done with this filler has come out perfectly. I also used it to fill in a large area after a nail gun shot two mangled nails simultaneously and a big chunk of the window sill came out in pieces when removing them. I wish I had thought to take a before and after pic, because with a few layers of the filler and a little work, that area is absolutely invisible, even with the sun shining right on it, which saved having to rip out and replace a 7’ window sill.I also tried mixing a small amount of it with a couple drops of stain and using it for nail hole filler. Worked great!I apply it with my fingers and wipe flush. Any haze left around the hole after it is dry is easily wiped away with a damp cloth. The jar is plastic and flexes just a tiny bit, and the cap sometimes seems like it loosens as it sits, but it does say if it dries out, water can be added. It is on the expensive side, but there is no comparison. I am very happy with this product.Edit 3/2024: I do quite a bit of woodworking and am on my third jar of this AMAZING product. When it becomes a little dry - and it will over time - all it needs is a drop or two of water, a quick stir and it is good to go. I am able to use 100% of the product in the jar. Also-the window sill I repaired shows no signs of shrinking or cracking. Poly topcoat is perfect. Full sun on this sill.

The picture shows what is supposed to be the color called white oak. Otherwise, the product is easy to apply, does not shrink even a little bit and sands out well. Although I cannot assess durability over time, it appears it would be good under an opaque surface coat.

This is a great product if you know how to use it and know what it can be used for. A lot of people have given negative reviews because:1. Mixing it 1:1 creates a watery mess / it's too difficult to work with. - I personally think using 1:1 water to filler ratio as a starting point is too aggressive. You only want to add enough water so that it can be worked around. It should end up looking/feeling like mud. And I personally prefer it just a tad bit drier (it gives you less time to spread it around before it dries, but I find it easier to work with). Don't try to mix/use the whole bottle at once. If you haven't used it before start with a glob and add some water. If you use too much water, add some more filler until you get the consistency right. It's easier to add water than it is to wait for the mixture to dry out if you've added too much. - Don't use a rag to spread it around. It's way easier to spread around and provide sufficient pressure to force the filler down into the grain if you use a plastic squeegee (a credit card also works). I personally think it's easier to work with this way if your consistency is a bit off as well.2. It doesn't create a uniform surface / disintegrates, breaks off, or erodes away. - This is not wood *putty*. This is wood filler. They are two different things. Putty is more like playdough and is meant to be formed into the wood more like such. Wood filler is far more viscous than putty; it's meant to fit into/in between the grain. If you're trying to fill a gouge you need to look for putty. The first review on here with the pictures of the repaired chair is astonishing. I have no idea how that person even managed that, but I can guarantee you that sort of repair work will NOT stand the test of time with this product (or even putty for that matter) unless you plan on keeping whatever it is you're repairing in a glass case. If your furniture is that damaged, your best bet is going to be an epoxy filler.Hopefully these tips can help. If anyone is wanting more details on how to use either water-based or oil-based fillers and/or how to incorporate either of these with various types of finishes I would highly recommend "How to Understand Wood Finishing : How to Select and Apply the Right Finish" by Bob Flexner; this book is the alpha and omega of finishing.

Dries well, hard and sands well. Hope it is very durable.

Fair product. Needs to be more flexible

Been struggling for months to patch up areas on plywood where the veneer has peeled to get back to a smooth surface. Tried many wood fillers (plastic wood, minwax, timber mate). To no avail, they are either too dense to spread or they don't spread thinly without breaking down.Woodfilla has the consistensy of peanut butter and spreads easily with a spatula. Breeze to fill in patches in a veneer layer before paint. Dries relatively fast (like plastic wood) and sands easily.

While it smells a little odd, this is a great wood filler. Since its water based you can control the consistency by adding if it dries out. It also dries really hard and stains well.

Normally I make my own. This stuff is almost a perfect match for colour.

This is my favourite filler for projects. Very easy to use, apply and sand. Doesn’t dry out as quickly as others. A little tub but it does go a long way.

This product is complete and utter garbage and a waste of money and effort.First of all, it's VERY expensive. I went for Goodfilla because I found Bondo ridiculously costly. I thought $15.95 for this container of Goodfilla was OK. But the container which looks pretty big in the pictures turned out to be TINY. It was about 1/3rd the size of a 355 ml can of Coke. Basically one $15.95 container of Goodfilla is enough for the very smallest of repair jobs.Second, I needed this wood filler to try to fix a big hole in my baseboard wood trim. IT DID NOT WORK.I spent an hour applying and shaping the wood filler into the hole, using up the entire container, then I left my repair job to dry and cure. I figured after curing, it would be pretty hard, and ready for sanding and painting over so the baseboard would look fine.12 hours later (it's supposed to dry in 15 minutes) it was STILL not dry, and it never hardened. It was still as soft as silicone on the outside and pure goo on the inside. And it DID shrink and it DID crack, despite the promises of the product description.I destroyed my repair job and will have to find another solution. Goodfilla is trash.

I got this to fill large cracks up to 1/4” in a laminate floor that had water damage. I almost certainly chose the wrong product for this job. If that is correct, then I cannot review the product itself, which appears to be quite good for its proper purpose. The reason that I am writing a review at all is that the product was delivered through the post in a bag that was crushed and the container had popped open and its contents partly lspilled into the bag. I cannot tell if that contributed to the problem I had using it. I don’t think so. But I do have to say I’m disappointed that it was improperly packaged by the shipper.

It has a very thick texture and great color possible to sand easily or wipe the unwanted with a wet towel.
