Goodfilla Red Oak, 8 oz, Wood and Grain Filler, Stainable, Tintable, Sandable, Zero Waste, Non-Toxic, USA Made

Finally got to use it, great product. Would definitely purchase again.

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.

I grabbed the Neutral Goodfilla mostly for grain-filling an oak desk, but it’s turned into the catch-all fix for every nick, gouge, and pore around the house. The paste spreads like cake frosting, levels itself in the grain, and after 15 minutes is ready for 220-grit, no waiting overnight, no mystery shrinking the next day. First project was an oak desktop: one thin swipe, light sand, then stain. The filled sections took color so evenly you can’t spot where the pores were. Since then I’ve tinted small batches with water-based dye to patch a walnut coffee table and even mixed in black pigment to fake ebony plugs on a pine bookshelf. Cleanup is just a damp rag; brushes rinse out under the tap instead of soaking in solvent. • No cracking or sinking, even on deep screw holes • Accepts oil, water, or lacquer finishes without blotching • Fine sanding dust -won’t clog paper after two passes Minor warning: leave the lid loose for even an hour and the top skin starts to thicken, so I press a circle of plastic wrap against the surface before sealing the tub. Small hassle for a filler that’s saved me at least three separate products. If you work with open-grain woods or just want a ready-to-tint patching compound, this 8-oz jar punches way above its weight.

Im very new to woodworking. I made a table using oak for the legs and mahogany for the top. The oak legs were stained very dark almost black. I had a 2.5in piece of mahogany that is very dark and beautiful. At least I think so. The remaining boards are multiple shades lighter than this dark piece but still have attractive figure. I wanted to keep most of the natural color my mahogany had but add a very mild red tint. Secondly, I discovered mahogany has a pretty open pore structure so I wanted to fill the pores in to hopefully arrive at a smooth finish. I mixed about 2 Tbs filler to 4 Tbs water. After a quick stir with a stir stick, I arrived at a very liquid consistency like red water. I didn’t want to slather a thick paste on my work surface because I imagined the removal of a thick paste being a hassle. I applied the solution using a cheap foam brush covering the surface just enough to fill in the pores. I left this to dry for a few hours. Sorry I don’t remember how many hours but I did make certain the wood was completely dry. Lastly, I used 320 grit abrasive paper before applying the filler so I continued on with the 320 grit to remove the excess filler. I’d never made a coffee table, never used mahogany wood and never used a filler prior to this project. Having never used a filler, I have nothing to compare it to but I was very pleased with the ease of application, the color and the smooth texture after filling the pores. According to the directions, you can add stains, dyes etc to the product if you desire a different shade. Hope this helps you decide if this product is right for you.

This is a really great product. Does exactly what the company says it will do. I moved in to an older house where the much loved wood mantel had hundreds of pin holes I would assume for Christmas stockings etc. I very lightly sanded down the rough areas filled with the wood filler then a very lightly rub with a cloth. When dry painted the wood. Looks great no visible hole marks.

The colour was great but product was very dry and crumbly. Used another product and added a bit of water to see if I can use this at another time. A bit disappointing for my project.

Has a great set up time. Enough time to spread it around & reasonable set up time. Gives that aged/old look to new wood.

Oh man, this stuff is awesome. Easy to work with. The color matching for my project was spot on. Clean up is a breeze. I sealed with an oil based sealer that matched the flooring finish. Super duper happy.

This stuff is a good filler but applied to cracks in shingles then primed and painted but it cracks and ruins the paint job. Don’t buy for exterior shingles.
