User questions & answers

Question:	do i have to mix the entire container at once
Answer:	This fill need to be use and let dry for some time before you can stain /paint over it, and when storing it for the next time turn the container up side down so it doesn't dry out over time.
Question:	Why can't I get it out of the tube
Answer:	It will harden with age, just sitting on your shelf. Or it might have come to you from old stock. Once the tube is opened, it will dry out and harden quickly. Probably need to get a new container.
Question:	Can I drill into hardened mini wax wood filler and re-screw a hinge
Answer:	Yes, you can. When filling larger holes: you can speed up the drying process by stuffing part of the gap with a small cutoff piece of wood. Make sure to overfill the area, that way it will sand to a straight, smooth finish
Question:	What is difference or recommended use regarding wood filler and two part epoxy
Answer:	You must make your questions clearer. MinWax Wood Filler when mixed with epoxy is an excellent product.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you mix colors to get to a custom color
Answer:	I don't see any reason why not, other than the potential mess and a need to work in a bit of a hurry.
Question:	I see it said 1 pack on the quantity. Does that mean 1 tube
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Would natural match white oak hardwood floors
Answer:	I have not tried it with white oak. Most of my applications are on pine or poplar, which I stain before finishing. For as well as it matches pine before staining, I believe that it would do well on white oak after the finish was applied. It will be obvious to you but others are not likely to notice the filler.
Question:	i have a gash in my composite deck outside. i want to fill it then sand and stain it. is this product good for outdoor use
Answer:	Yes i use it on our playset to plug bee holes and then sand , stain over.

• EASY TO USE- Work the White Cabinet Grain Filler generously into open wood grain and pores against the grain with a small squeegee, bond blade, old credit card, or fingers with a glove.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a recommended temperature range for applying this product
Answer:	Yes ideally you want to apply where your temp is 72 degrees and 50% humidity. You can apply it between 65 -85 degrees. Any thing outside of that will affect dry and cure time.
Question:	Can I let the final Aqua coat layer stand two weeks before painting
Answer:	Yes you can let it dry for an unlimited time before applying primer and paint. Just make sure you lightly sand with 320 right before you start applying your primer.
Question:	what if the cabinets have already been painted? Should I sand them all the way down Or will a light sanding work
Answer:	If you have previously painted your cabinets you will need to let them fully cure [as per the manufacturers guidelines]. Not dry but cure. At that point you will lightly scuff sand with 220 to give it some tooth so the grain filler has something to stick to. After scuff sanding you can blow off the dust or use a cotton rag. Do not use tack cloths as they have oils and waxes in them and will repel the grain filler. Then apply 1-2 coats of grain filler. 1 coat of primer and 1-2 coats of paint. Always try your complete planned processes on the front of a drawer first.
Question:	Can I use this on old cabinets installed in 1972? Also, can I use it on the inside of the cabinet or is it just for the outer doors
Answer:	Yes. Inside or outer surface, wherever you have wood grain that you want to make smooth. I used Aqua Coat on the outside of oak cabinets and both sides of the doors and drawer fronts. The outside of the doors needed 3 coats with light sanding (220) between coats. It was labor intensive for the 22 cabinets I painted but well worth the time and effort.

Product description

A totally unique, quick drying, water based grain filler and wood putty accepts stain beautifully or can be tinted. Never goes bad Easy to apply and clean up No shrinking, cracking or falling out. Does not become permanent until you apply a finish. If youre ever unhappy with the way it looks, the color, etc. – just water it down and remove it. If it freezes, simply put it in the microwave to warm it up or if it dries out, just stir in water. This allows for zero waste! This might just be the perfect wood filler. Manufacturer recommends using only stainless steel or plastic tools to apply because Timbermate may react with low grade steels and turn black. If this happens, simply add water and remove it, or wait for it to dry and sand it off.

• Easy preparation
• Timbermate is versatile and may be used for all interior repairs, including repairing edges.
• Fast drying
• When you’re done with your repair, scoop it up and put it back in the bucket.
• Timbermate protects wood and doesn’t harm it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to repair separated boards
Answer:	It depends on what you mean by repair.I have used this filler to fill joins on baseboards, cladding, moulding etc and it is brilliant. I do not think it would work as an adhesive.
Question:	Does the red oak come in larger quantities
Answer:	This is the only size that we carry. Other vendors may have quarts or gallons.
Question:	Will this work on wood turnings
Answer:	Yes, with adequate drying time (overnight)
Question:	Will this match/stain with origininal wood(red oak
Answer:	This does not perfectly match the wood color. It is close enough that you can touch it up with the stain you use to match.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this product accept wood stain at all
Answer:	Yes, but to control the amount of pigment, I have always sealed the filler 1st, and matched the background color of the wood grain, sealed again, then added the actual wood color on top of the 2nd coat of sealer, then sealed again, painted in grain lines and sealed again. Sealer = lacquer, polyurethane, etc. Usually using a spray finish..
Question:	Can kwikwood be used for rotted wood repair? the window sill has rotted area with high moisture content.the product label mentions dry rot
Answer:	Yes, but dry rot has to be removed and wood needs to be dried out, for a good base for a stable application...also how large of an area is involved needs to be considered. If larger than 3"x3"×2" deep..I would considered a different filler, a bondo type for wood repair, available at most hardware stores, that's more spreadable...for larger holes.
Question:	can this be used to replace the corner of a wooden drawer that is broken off
Answer:	Absolutely. I used it to replace a few corners and patch nail holes
Question:	Once you open the package do you have to use it all at once or can you reseal it and save it for another day
Answer:	I used about 2/3's of a package. Resealed. Used about half of remaining a week later. Resealed. Still seems usable except portion I accidently put in contact. Is binary thick paste, like modeling clay. To activate, must kneed together with fingers quite a bit. Hardens in about 15 minutes. RH

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on water damaged particle board to prevent further crumbling
Answer:	Wood and particle board are two different animals. Particle board has several ingredients that I suspect would not bond with this product. You could try it, but because it is water soluble, who knows what the reaction might be. If the damaged material is too hard to remove, I would try a small section with this and another section with the more toxic Minwax or Bondo version of wood hardener. Good luck.
Question:	I'm replacing slats in an old bench with new pine. Would this be good to harden and waterproof the new/undamaged wood, then stain after
Answer:	No, new wood won't absorb it very well. It's for old spongy wood. There must be other products that are designed for preservation rather than restoration. (BTW, I wasn't impressed with it for old wood either.)
Question:	Since I don't want to sand stain off the soft wood, would it work to drill small holes into the wood and "inject" the product directly into the holes
Answer:	I think this might work, I had very old shed with rotten windows sills and drilled holes in rotten wood. This was some years back. If I remember correctly it instructed you to drill holes for deeper penetration of the decayed areas of the wood. I will say the wood was more like rock when hardened
Question:	Can this be used on mdf or particle board that has begun to expand and separate slightly? Such as the bottom of an arcade cabinet
Answer:	This will stop rot and hold together wood that has become rotten. The expansion will not go away. You might use in conjunction with yellow carpenters glue (water proof) and clamp the cabinet to force expansion and separation back to proper form. I have used on wood that had termite and water damage and the restorer hardened the wood and do the same for manufactured wood.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is "Butcher Block Conditioner" or "Cutting Board Oil" better for Chicago Cutlery wooden knife handles
Answer:	The Butcher Block Conditioner includes beeswax, which will be more water repellent than just the oil. Treating the knive handle or cutting board (esp. a butcher block style board) with multiple applications will allow the beeswax to penetrate deeply into the wood. Once done, a quick wipedown with oil is all that is needed to keep the board in good condition.Short answer: use Conditioner on an newly made handle/board or a cutting board that is not acting water repellent, and oil as a touchup after washing.
Question:	Can you use on bamboo
Answer:	why not? it is a hard wood. they have bamboo cutting boards. unless there is specific instuctions from the manufacturer stating otherwise.
Question:	Could I use this on finished oak wood, that is on most of my kitchen table and chairs
Answer:	Your wasting your time using this on "Finished" wood. A better option would be Murphy's Oil Soap.This is more for raw wood like cutting boards and seasoning cast iron cookware.
Question:	What are the different reasons for using the oil over the conditioner and vice versa
Answer:	I have used both the oil and the conditioner. I have two cutting boards, both hardwood, one old board and one new board. For the old board (3" thick oak that I have used 40 years), I prefer the conditioner which gives a waxy, burnished surface and does a good job cleaning the board up. My new board (black walnut 3" thick) I applied multiple coats of oil to condition the wood. I used 3 coats front and back to begin. The oil will sink right in on a brand new air-dried board. The oil keeps the wood from drying out, brings out the grain, enhancing the beauty and the usefulness of the board. Each week when I was first using the new board, I have applied a couple of coats of oil. The board now looks and acts as if it is about 5 years old. I sometimes apply the conditioner after the oil as the beeswax gives some impenetrability to the wood. Both products are excellent, and I would now not go without having them! I also think the conditioner makes knife "tracks" a little less visible. My sons do not want to use their boards because of the beauty of the walnut, but of course the value of a good cutting board is its use in creating delectable things. Using these products will also make it easier to pat or roll out biscuits without them sticking to the board.

User questions & answers

Question:	I know that paint will bond to this but will it bond to paint? Can I apply it to a crack in a painted surface or do I have to remove the paint first
Answer:	Not sure. I would test a small area first, then try to use it. Let it dry then try to lightly pry it away from the paint. If it feels like its bonding, then try to finish the project.
Question:	Can this be used to fill gouges and dents in hardwood floors
Answer:	No, that wouldn't be a good idea at all! It might work ok on a stationary wooden item, but not something that is trafficked like a hardwood floor!!
Question:	Would this work to fill in a quarter inch space around replaced wood in a subfloor
Answer:	Instead use a cement based filler. For a small repairs use a premixed cement base crack filler like Henry Premixed Patch n' Level.
Question:	My cat scratched the top of a cabinet door and put some really good nicks in it. Will this make it look like the scratches never happened
Answer:	It would depend on what it's made out of/how it's finished. If it's stained wood, then, no, you'd need a stainable wood filler (this one isn't stainable). You could paint over this wood filler and it would look pretty good, however, after you'd sanded it down and everything. If the nicks aren't too deep, though, a touch up pen is your best bet. If they are deeper and your cabinets are wood and painted, this will work. If they're deeper but the cabinets are wood and stained, a product such as this would be more what you're looking for: http://www.amazon.com/Elmers-E887Q-Stainable-Filler-3-25-Ounce/dp/B001T4YU7K
