Minwax Wood Putty, Colonial Maple, 3.75 oz.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a new homeowner of a older house plus someone who refurbished / repurposes furniture I've tried a large assortment of wood fillers and putty, Minwax Wood Putty is now my universal do-to. Easy to wipe with a shop towel this putty dries supper fast and sands to a smooth easily paintable finish. Highly recommended.

I bought this to fill nail holes in white trim. It worked just as described and was easy to use. My criticism is with the product information. Most of the Minwax wood putties are color matched to Minwax stains, which makes them well suited to repairs on woods that were stained with Minwax. Certainly, Minwax created the white wood putty knowing it would be used on wood painted in varying shades of white, and that the color they have created might not be compatible. That being said, it would make sense for the instructions on the white wood putty to state clearly whether it can or should be painted. Instead, the buyer is left to guess whether this is a proper use of the product. One reviewer said she had good results painting the putty, so I'll give it a try, but It'd be far better if Minwax made clear, one way or the other, whether this is a paintable product
