DAP Plastic Wood Latex All Purpose Wood Filler

1. Surface must be clean, dry and free of dirt, oil and loose material. De-gloss surface if necessary for best adhesion.
2. Surface, wood filler and air temperature should be above 40°F.
3. If staining, test wood filler with desired stain on scrap wood before filling to ensure desired stain color. Stain before filling with wood filler, then use stain to develop desired final finish.
4. Stir product with putty knife before application. For squeeze tubes, knead the tube prior to cutting and extruding material.
5. Apply wood filler into area to be filled. Press firmly into place using a putty knife or tool.
6. Avoid overspreading filler on surrounding surfaces. Overfill slightly to allow for sanding and settling. Most repairs require just one fill. Larger and deeper holes may require more than one application.
7. For larger and deeper holes, apply thin layers to build up thick sections. Allow wood filler to dry before applying next layer.
8. Allow to dry thoroughly before sanding: approximately 3 to 6 hours for shallow fills up to 1/8-inch and 36 hours for deeper fills 1/4-inch and over. Sand with medium sandpaper.
9. May be painted with latex-based paint immediately after sanding, or after 12 hours if using an oil-based paint.
10. Exterior applications and applications subject to water exposure must be sealed with a waterproof coating.
