Elmer'sE855 Carpenter's Wood Filler, 3.25-Ounce Tube, White

Good

It’s so easy to use . Easy clean up .

Color matched our interiors. The quality is good and it dries pretty quickly.

Very good product as advertised.

I always like using Elmer’s wood filler.

This must be the stuff I picked up a few good years back.I had picked up an Elmers white filler that worked GREAT with PVC molding, purchased both from HD.Easy to apply into the nail holes, easy to skim off and color / sheen perfect match, no painting of the white PVC molding.Just recently, ripped out some beat up old cheap wood molding, and replaced with the nice PVC molding.Before filling the nail holes, I was testing different solutions, cause I couldn't exactly remember what I used the last time.I picked up a "white" elmers that HD had, the stuff was more greyish when dry and was very "fibery" . terrible.After not being all that happy with solutions I picked up locally, I search Amazon. urrrrreeekkaa I thought when I found this. Purchased a tube and tested it.The E855 is what I must of gotten originally from HD, ordering more of this E855 from Amazon to finish off the molding.Your hard pressed to find the nail holes, and that is without painting.. I just filled in the nail holes with the original white Elmers filler.A few years later, still looks as clean and perfect matching as the day I did it. If you look hard with a flash light you'll find the nail holes I filled 5-6 years ago,.. but your hard pressed with our without a flash light.. you really have to look.Compared to using Latex caulking I ( I'm told silicon RTV wont stick to the PVC molding) ...... all I tested actually flow better than the Elmers 855, but all cause a the need to wipe around the nail hole to get ride of the residue that shows in the glare of lighting after skimming the fill with a putty knife. And depending on the caulking, the caulking in the nail hole can attract dust and dirt changing the color if not painted over.You can tell, after letting a test fill dry for a few days, rub a dirty finger over it, and see what sticks... only one caulking/adhesive and the Elmers wont keep the dirt from your finger.This Elmers 855 is PERFECT for the white PVC molding (indoor / dry location only. I'll assume if wet location, better use something else or paint over it). So I'm ordering a few more tubes so I can fill all my nail holes and slightly open seams.

The best wood filler... it is very easy to work with.

I was going to give this product a try in hopes of filling in and sanding some of the weathered woodwork close my tub in my bathroom. This stuff is literally just normal spackle in a tube. Was hoping for a slightly smoother and almost glue like texture, but it ended up being a powdery, chalky paste just like spackle for drywall. It’s not durable enough for edges, just for filling in tiny gaps and holes. Dries very fast and is easily sandable, but not durable enough like plastic wood.
