Wood Maintenance & Repair

Q: How is Minwax Wood Putty^® different from Minwax^® High Performance Wood Filler?

A: Unlike Minwax^® High Performance Wood Filler, Minwax Wood Putty^® is a non-hardening putty designed to cosmetically fill nail holes, joints and other minor surface imperfections. Additionally, Minwax Wood Putty^® is color-matched to the Minwax^® Wood Finish™ stain line. High Performance Wood Filler is a heavy duty filler that repairs damaged or rotted wood.

Q: How is Minwax Wood Putty^® different from Minwax^® Stainable Wood Filler?

A: Minwax Wood Putty^® is designed to fill minor surface imperfections in finished wood. It comes in ten colors to match Minwax^® Wood Finish™ stains and does not harden. Stainable Wood Filler is designed to fill nail holes, cracks, gouges and other defects in unfinished wood. It does not come pre-colored. It readily accepts and Minwax^® stain and, once stained, will match the surrounding wood. Stainable Wood Filler harden and is strong enough to hold nails and screws.

WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local health authority.
