How long does KwikWood take to cure?

Can I paint KwikWood?

Yes, KwikWood is water-resistant, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Can I use KwikWood on metal or plastic?
KwikWood is primarily designed for wood repair, although it may adhere to some other surfaces. Surface preparation is very important.
How should I store KwikWood?
Store KwikWood in a cool, dry place and reseal the package after use to prevent it from drying out.
What tools do I need to apply KwikWood?
You will need a knife or cutting tool to cut the putty, and your hands to mix it. You may also need sandpaper, and painting supplies for finishing.
Can KwikWood be used for structural repairs?
KwikWood is ideal for filling and patching. While it's strong, it's not generally recommended for major structural load-bearing repairs.
Troubleshooting
Putty is difficult to mix.
Ensure the putty is at room temperature. If it's cold, warm it slightly (do not overheat). Mix thoroughly until the color is uniform.
Putty doesn't adhere properly.
Make sure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of any loose particles. Roughen the surface with sandpaper for better adhesion.
Putty is still soft after curing.
Ensure you've allowed the putty to cure for the full hour, or longer if in a cool environment. The cure time can be extended in cooler temperatures.
Difficulty in sanding the cured putty.
Use progressively finer grits of sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish. Ensure the putty is fully cured before sanding.
