Is this filler suitable for outdoor furniture?

Troubleshooting
Filler shrinks or cracks after drying.
This usually occurs with very deep fills. Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry. Ensure the area is clean and properly prepped before application.
Filler is difficult to sand.
Allow the filler to dry completely. If it's still gummy, it may have been applied too thickly or in humid conditions. Ensure you are using sharp sandpaper.
Paint or stain doesn't adhere well.
Ensure the filler is completely dry and all dust is removed. Lightly sand the dried filler before applying paint or stain. For stain, test on an inconspicuous area first as results vary.
Filler remains soft after an extended time.
This may be due to high humidity or very thick application. Ensure adequate ventilation and try to apply in thinner coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Ensure the application area is clean, dry, and free of dust and debris. For best adhesion, lightly sand any glossy surfaces before application.
Compatibility: This wood filler is compatible with most wood types. It can be painted and stained, but always test stainability on a small, inconspicuous area first, as results can vary. It adheres well to bare wood and previously finished surfaces (ensure good adhesion).
