Best Wood Filler of 2026

"I'm not a professional, just someone fixing up furniture and trim around my house, and Gorilla All Purpose Wood Filler made my repairs so much easier than expected. The filler spreads smoothly, dries quickly, and doesn't shrink or crack—even in deeper spots. It also blends seamlessly under paint or stain. My only tip is to keep the lid closed tight to prevent it from drying out. Highly recommend for any DIY projects!"

"I used this product for an outdoor bench and some nail holes in trim, and the smooth texture and easy application really stood out. It gives me enough working time, sands evenly, and the natural finish makes it easy to paint or stain without weird color changes. It's water resistant and has held up great outside, even after a few rainstorms. Just remember to overfill slightly since it shrinks a little as it dries. A reliable, versatile wood filler for all kinds of repairs."

"I picked up Gorilla Wood Filler to fix a door with a hole in it. It filled the damage perfectly, sanded down easily, and painted over without issues. Great value and very easy to use—couldn't be happier with the results!"

"I worked on a walnut project and picked up the darker version of this wood filler. It was easy to use and sanded down smoothly, blending seamlessly into my work. After priming and painting over it, you can't tell where I applied the filler. I trust Gorilla products and feel confident in this one too."

"I really appreciate this filler, especially how it comes in different colors and forms a stronger, more durable surface than drywall caulk. It's a bit dry straight from the tube, but a little water on my fingers made it very moldable and easy to work into gaps, chips, and corners. For old houses or quick fixes, it's a lifesaver—you can make it as workable as you want with just a touch of water."

"I used the Natural Color filler for my deck and indoor trim and it performed well. It resisted water outdoors, dried quickly, and was easy to sand and paint over. The only issue was the small tube size and thick consistency, which made it tough to squeeze out, but the results were worth it for small repairs."

"I find this product to be extremely convenient for touching up minor blemishes on wood trim. It's very easy to use and blends in almost seamlessly, saving me a lot of time on small repairs."

"When it comes to covering nail holes in baseboards, this is hands down the best solution I've come across. It's durable, takes paint well, and blends in better than caulk or putty. I just wish there was a larger size for bigger projects."

"In my experience, the product is okay but doesn't provide full coverage every time. I noticed I had to use quite a bit for each spot and sometimes the results weren't perfect. It's not the best value for what I needed."

"I used this stick to fix tack holes in a white melamine cabinet panel and it worked perfectly. After applying and using a microfiber rag to clean up, the holes became nearly invisible. The color matched exactly, which was a big plus. I also tried it on a few baseboard spots where old spackle had popped out, and it worked wonderfully for quick touch-ups."

"After accidentally drilling a hole in the wrong spot on my cabinet door, I gave this product a try. The crayon-like stick filled the hole well, especially after I gently heated it and scraped off the excess. It’s not a flawless fix, but the repair is barely noticeable now—only I know it’s there."

"I’ve used this for touching up tiny nicks and scuffs around doors, frames, and baseboards. It worked perfectly for small imperfections and matched my pre-primed trim color really well. I’ll definitely keep using it for future projects."

"I repaired a large chip on my Dhol drum using this product. It was simple to knead and shape, and after an hour, the putty was rock solid and blended nicely. The drum's rim feels just as strong as before, and the repair has held up perfectly through many sessions. I’d highly recommend this for any quick, strong wood fix."

"This stuff saved me big time when my puppy chewed up the cabinet corner and baseboards in my apartment. I was skeptical at first, but after prepping the surface and letting it harden overnight, the repair was solid and durable. I painted over the repairs and they were basically invisible—helped me avoid expensive replacements!"

"I used KwikWood to fix the broken shelf in my TV cabinet made from MDF. The putty was easy to mix and apply, and in an hour, it was hard and ready for sanding and painting. My cabinet looks like new now. Absolutely worth it!"

"I've tried countless fillers for wall repairs, but nothing matches how well this product works on drywall and wood. It doesn't shrink, is easy to sand, and takes paint flawlessly. My only gripe is the tube—dispensing becomes tough when it's half-empty. If they offered a tub version, I'd never switch!"

"For small woodworking and trim projects, this is my go-to. It fills, sands, and dries fast, and the twist cap keeps it fresh for later use. Great for covering nail heads and minor nicks, but you do need to sand and paint for a flawless finish."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well it bonded to my melamine cabinet conversion. It works like a blend of wood filler and caulk, perfect for finger joints and support boards. I just wish there were tub options and more sizes, since one tube wasn't enough for my bigger project."

"I've tried several wood fillers, but this one stands out for its easy use, quick drying, and simple cleanup. I get great results with minimal sanding, and the container seals well for storage. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and effective wood filler."

"This filler worked perfectly on my PVC molding—the color matched exactly, and the finish was so clean that you can barely spot the nail holes even after years. Compared to latex caulking, this product is less prone to showing residue and doesn't attract dirt. It's my go-to for indoor white trim work."

"After struggling with grainy plastic wood fillers, this product was a game-changer. It applied smoothly and evenly, filled cracks flawlessly, and matched my primer perfectly. I was especially impressed that I didn't even have to sand before painting. Definitely purchasing again."

"I've made this my go-to wood filler because the color-change indicator takes out all the guesswork—it’s pink when wet and natural when dry. Sands super smooth, blends with the wood, and doesn’t shrink or crack. I love using the squeeze tube for precise, mess-free application. It’s my top pick for DIY repairs and woodworking. Highly recommend!"

"For my moderate-sized project, this stuff was a lifesaver. The pink-to-tan color change made timing a breeze. I used it in three layers over two days, and just needed a couple of containers and a sander. Super sturdy finish—absolutely rocks!"

"It was perfect for filling holes in my door and jamb left by an old latch. The product goes on pink and changes color as it dries, and was super easy to sand and paint. Would definitely buy again."

"I found this product to be a great value—it was perfect for repairing the corners of a chewed chair. It was simple to apply, dried quickly, and sanded down easily. I appreciated being able to paint or stain over it seamlessly."

"The small tube is easy to store and holds a surprising amount. The natural color blended nicely with my red oak before I stained it. Really happy with how it turned out!"

"While the product itself works well and dries very hard, the bottle burst open and leaked on my first try. Still, I think it does what it's meant to do, even though it's a little thick to work with."
