QuikWood 471050-24 Putty Stick

A very quick hardening wood repair epoxy that sands well and is strong. Drill before installing screws.

The first time I used this, I didn't have gloved hands because I didn't realize there were instructions inside the tube (you have to pull it out and turn the instructions inside out). I highly recommend wearing latex gloves and working in a well-ventilated space because it smells really bad too. Pinch off and knead until the dough is of a uniform color before working with it. I mainly use it to fill screw holes so that I can re-drill a new hole. Since holes are small, I just glove one hand and work with one hand so as not to waste too many gloves. Works great for me!

I am a professional furniture painter and have a fair share of refurbishing and repair to do on much of my product before they can be painted. I have tried several other products that claim to behave like wood..they don't, and they also tend to crack and shrink. Quickwood does a great job, and I have even used it to rebuild parts of legs that have broken off on some of the Jacobean peices on which I have worked. It dries quickly, and dries hard. It's a little tricky to work with until you get the feel for it, and it does smell a bit, but it's worth it to me to deal with the smell because the finished product is so sound. It has a good working time, too. You simply slice off the amount you want from the tube, mix it together to activate, and then start shaping it. I order from Amazon every month or so, and have made it a habit to order 2 tubes with each order. I don't want to run out as it doesn't seem to be available locally. I buy the natural color, or sometimes the darker wood if I need color to show through the paint I am using. I have tried staining with it, and it does not take stain the way wood does, so find that matching the color closest to what I need is the best bet. I think if I were to use this on antiques that I am not painting, I would probably paint it with diluted oils to match the wood grain, rather than try to stain it to match. Good product!

nice and usefull product

Doesn’t shrink, can be used to fill deep gouges in wood and corners in high end furniture and pianos. Takes stain and paint. Can be used to replace carvings in furniture and wooden statuesCan be used to fill screw holes in cabinets and doors. Cures within the hour. A must have for all DIYers. A very well made product.

easy to use and strong

Love this..its easy to use,and you get great results . I use it for my art projects,decorating gourds, and making ornaments.This sets very quickly, so you only have about 30 minutes to work with it. Excepts acrylic paint with ease. Great for use in any craft project. Highly recommend..

It works like a magic. Dries super hard and easy to drill or screw in. Mine expanded a little after drying, so be careful and do not put too much of it. I will definitely always keep this product on my work shelf.
