How do I clean my tools after using it?
Cleanup is simple; use warm water and a little bit of soap to clean your putty knives or other tools.
Can I drill into the filler once it is dry?

Troubleshooting
Filler is drying out in the container
Ensure the lid is pressed firmly into place after every use; if slightly thick, a very small amount of water can sometimes be worked back into the filler.
Stain does not match the wood color
Wood fillers often absorb stains differently than natural wood fibers; use a wood filler tint or apply a pre-stain wood conditioner to the patched area to even out absorption.
Filler shrunk after drying
This typically happens in very deep holes; apply the filler in thinner, multiple layers, allowing each layer to dry thoroughly before adding the next.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris before application. For deep cracks, build the filler up in thin layers rather than attempting to fill the entire cavity at once to prevent long drying times.
- Compatibility: This product works well with most standard wood types and is compatible with various water-based and oil-based finishes. Always conduct a small test on a hidden area of the project to ensure the filler accepts your chosen stain or paint as expected.
- Cleanup: Since the formula is latex-based and solvent-free, tools can be cleaned easily using warm water and mild soap. Ensure the container lid is closed tightly after every use to prevent the filler from drying out in the jar.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and protect from freezing, as latex-based products can lose their consistency if subjected to extreme temperatures.
