Ronseal 32287 High Performance Wood Filler - Natural 1Kg

Product Information

Contemporary woodworkers are also familiar with wood putty which, unlike wood filler, is almost always made from synthetic chemicals. However, many modern wood fillers are also synthetic. This blurs the line between putty and filler, making the decision about which to use for a particular purpose a little complicated. Epoxy wood fillers, which combine the characteristics of putty and filler, blur the line even more.

However, in many cases, the user isn't entirely sure where they will need to use the wood filler, so it may be more beneficial to opt for a light-colored, general-purpose wood filler that is resistant to water, dirt, and dust. This makes it possible to apply the wood filler almost anywhere and have it be suitable for the task. In addition, the light color means that it's easily paintable to match the wall, ceiling, or baseboard, or any other surface. DAP Plastic Wood also has a low odor, which makes it ideal for indoor projects in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation. You can work with this product safely and comfortably, knowing that it won't produce any unpleasant or harmful fumes. And when you're finished, cleaning up is a breeze with just soap and water. Overall, we highly recommend DAP Plastic Wood for anyone looking for a top-quality wood filler that is versatile, easy to use, and highly effective. If you're looking for a reliable solution for exterior wood projects, we highly recommend using Bondo Wood Filler. Its two-part formula blends seamlessly to create a natural-looking medium-brown shade that can restore and reconstruct damaged or rotted wood. It's also versatile enough to be used to fill in missing pieces. After curing, which typically takes only 30 minutes, it forms a strong bond with the wood, creating a long-lasting and waterproof repair that won't warp or shrink.

Retailers often fail to distinguish between wood putty and wood filler, but there's a big difference.

Comprehensive Research: Our team dedicates extensive time and effort to research and analyze products, so you can make informed decisions. Wood fillers have three defining characteristics: They harden as they cure, they are sandable and they are stainable. Most wood fillers are uniformly sandable, but stainability varies. Fillers that contain real wood fibers tend to stain better than those high in mineral content, but most fillers are porous enough to allow at least some stain to penetrate. DAP Plastic Wood is the best wood filler overall. This heavy-duty, professional-grade formula looks and performs like actual wood, only stronger, and it can be sanded, painted, or stained just like the real thing. That said, Minwax Color-Matched Wood Filler is a close runner-up on account of its ultra-strong, multi-purpose formula that is very easy to use, whether indoors or outside. What to Look for in Wood Filler Types of Wood FillersVarious types of varnish and lacquer have been around at least since the time of the ancient Egyptians, so it’s fair to suppose that craftspeople through the ages have mixed the same natural hardening resins found in varnish and lacquer with wood dust, limestone or whatever else they had on hand to make wood filler. Wood filler is a suspension of a sandable material in a solution of hardening resin that has the ability to soak into wood fibers and bond with them. An example the ancients may have used — and one still used by woodworkers today — is a mixture of wood dust (cellulose) and lacquer, varnish or glue. Some contemporary products, such as DAP’s Plastic Wood All Purpose Wood Filler, combine wood fibers with a solvent-based hardening resin while others combine gypsum, limestone or attapulgite (a fibrous clay mineral) in a solvent- or water-based hardening resin. Wet Rot Wood Hardener leaves surfaces hard and resistant to further moisture penetration, making it ideal to prepare areas before using an exterior wood filler.
