Minwax® Wood Putty® White 3.75-Oz

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

Can someone please tell me why you would want to fill holes with something that never hardens. What is the point of it? If it stays soft it will also dent, come out and in no way provides a usable surface. I see absolutely no use for this product. Waste of time and money. Now I have to try and remove all the putty and hope that a filler that hardens will adhere. There is also no indication of what solvent will completely remove it. It doesn't even rate one star. Minwax, change your label for this product and add in bold letters "Does not harden" on the front, not in tiny letters on the back. I would also appreciate a response to this review informing me of what possible use this product has and how to remove it.
