ELMERS 3-1/4 Oz Natural Probond Wood Filler (E818Q)

I'm happy to report that whatever problems people had before with this filler, it's fine now (or at least the one i got is:). Very tough when applied and fully dry, i don't know about "3X stronger" as advertised but the spots I applied are definitely going to last longer than the Ace filler I was using most recently. ***NOTE: don't ignore the instructions to knead the tube thoroughly BEFORE you cut open the nozzle. Because it's dense filler, this is the secret to mix it thoroughly in case it was hanging on a shelf a while. Then when you ship the top to the bead size you want, it's perfectly mixed like it was just produced fresh yesterday.

This stuff works but is hard to use later. It does sand and paint over well. However, because it dries up in the tube, it's impossible to reuse. You can't use it on a future project because within hours it won't come out of the tube. I will not be purchasing this again for that reason.

The fact that this wood filter is packaged in a tube with a snip off nozzle is its big benefit. I was able to cut only the smallest opening and fill some very fine cracks in a checkerboard I was making. It dries quickly and sands easily.

I really like this filter. Caution though, make sure you squeeze it up a bit to mix it together. It will sprayed over time.

It was runny, but it was out in the heat, but eventually got thicker. It’s easier to handle than the other kind. Cleans up with water. Need to figure out what kind of weatherproof sealant I need. It was for a composite wood side table I accidentally drilled holes in. I plan to paint the top. Will use it on a wood table with bit s of worn down veneer. Sands well.

Disappointed

I've used ProBond in the past and I swear by it. This rating isn't for the product as much as the delivery method. I was repairing some RV water damage, and I wanted to add some to strengthen the screw adhesion. The problem is that even after thoroughly kneading the tube to mix the product, it came out very dry and unusable. It's almost as if the product was expired. It was a waste of my time and money and I will go back to buying this in the 8 oz tub version.

Filled the gaps nicely

Very good filler probably as good or better than anything else on the market
