.
Don't ruin a project by using poorly absorbing wood fillers that claim to be stainable.

Create custom colors by mixing VAN VOTZ WOOD FILLER colors together or lighten colors by mixing with White.
3-Step Repair Process for Outdoor Wood
Using a spatula or putty knife apply plenty of filler covering the hole/crack and scraping away excess. Large or Deeper holes need multiple layers, drying between each layer.
Sand area with a medium-grit sandpaper followed by a finer grit until only the hole/crack has filler and is even with surrounding area. Clear away dust before proceeding.
Complete by matching the topcoat with the wood filler color. VAN VOTZ STAIN & SEALER is available in the same colors to disguise repairs and provide a superior protective finish.

have tried most of the other wood rot exterior brands. This is by far the easiest and most effective to use.

Used it to patch ('glue') cracks on inside wooden door...color matched...seemed to work & hold up fine to date...The four-star rating reflects the higher price point for the quantity of ounces.

There are lots of options for interior wood filler.But when looking for exterior wood filler, that is waterproof and will survive the elements, there are fewer options.My grandfather always used regular wood filler and painted over it, and never seemed to have a problem. But there are probably better options these days, and it doesn't work if you want to keep the wood a natural color.I usually get the DAP plastic wood, which has an outdoor option. It's only available in one color. I love the DAP, it works great, and it's not too expensive - about 15 bucks for 32 ounces.But this Van Votz is really a different kind of product. First, you have plenty of color options to match your wood, or even match you're already painted or stained material. That's a pretty huge advantage - if it looks finished in just one step, you can avoid painting and trying to match colors, and cut your work time in half.Second, it's a different consistency. The DAP goes on pretty dry, it's almost like a clay consistency. The Van Votz is wetter, more liquified, and a bit sticky like caulk.If you're looking to sculpt something, you really need the DAP. The DAP can be used for form corners, even build out shapes.And when working upside down, I prefer DAP - it will stick in place and not drip. A good way to apply the DAP in hard-to-reach places or on 3D surfaces is just with your hands - put on nitrile gloves, grab a handful, and sculpt it into place. They advise you only to use 1/8-1/4 inch at a time, but I've layered it on an inch thick and it dries fine, barely shrinks.The Van Votz doesn't do that - it's mostly for for smoothing out flat surfaces. It takes a little longer to cure. If working on a flat surface, it's almost self-leveling. It doesn't require as much sanding when done. They're both wood putties, but really they're very different products, for different purposes.When cured, both of these products are stronger than actual wood - good adhesion, paintable, and permanent.

This was a very easy to apply and work great. It did shrink a bit into the screw holes but a second round was all it needed. This dried to a very hard, water tight surface.

To start with the pros: This wood filler dries very hard and durable, and it bonds very well to wood. Since it's solvent based rather than water based, it's weatherproof when it dries -- probably more so than any wood.For cons, well, for some uses the fact that it dries very hard and durable will be a con, because that means that it's tough to sand smooth. Another con is that it shrinks quite a bit as it dries. For anything other than very small patches you may need to do two applications.Regarding the color: I got a color labeled "Monterey Pine," which as of this writing isn't listed as an available color on the Amazon page. The actual color of the filler was much lighter than the color shown in the description when I ordered it. That was good, because I wanted a lighter color that would blend into birch plywood.So I'm happy to have this filler in my shop for those times when I want a filler that dries hard, bonds securely and is exterior grade. But for the times when I want something that will sand down easily and doesn't need those other properties, I'll keep some water-based filler on hand as well.
