Fantastic wood filler—easy to use, dries fast, and goes on pink so you know exactly when it’s ready!
DAP Plastic Wood-X with DryDex has become one of my go-to repair products. The pink-to-natural color change is super helpful—there’s no guessing whether it’s dry. Once cured, it sands very smoothly and blends seamlessly with the surrounding wood. It’s great for filling nail holes, dents, deep gouges, or even small structural repairs. The texture is thick but spreads easily, and it doesn’t shrink or crack the way some fillers do. It also takes paint and stain well, especially if you sand it down properly. The 5.5 oz tube is convenient for small and medium projects, and the squeeze format makes application clean and simple without needing to open a whole container. If you need a reliable wood filler for DIY repairs, furniture touch-ups, trim work, or woodworking projects, this one performs consistently and gives professional-looking results. Highly recommended!

Easy to work with
Worked great for me for a moderate sized project! I appreciate how it starts pink and dries tan, so you know when it’s ready to sand. It sands really beautifully. I completed this project in 3 layers, took a total of two days all together with dry time and such. All I used were 2 containers of this stuff, a sander, and 120 grit sandpaper. Super sturdy. This stuff rocks!

Easy to Work With and Dries Strong
The DAP 540 Natural Plastic Wood filler is one I’ve used a few times now, and it always performs well. It spreads smooth, fills gaps and holes clean, and dries to a solid finish that sands easy. The color blends nicely with most woods, especially once stained or painted. It doesn’t crack or shrink like some cheaper fillers do. Great for small repairs, trim work, or furniture touch-ups. Reliable, simple to use, and leaves a professional-looking finish every time.

Good product, dilutable in water which is helpful for shaping, smoothing and cleaning.
The tub I received was probably what was advertised but somehow it was much smaller than I imagined. Anyway, the product does a great job. I used it to fix a couple of frames that my bird had chewed. I was able to get a fairly smooth finish on them with this product. Go over it with water to smooth out any areas, then sand. It sands pretty well.

You don't have to be a pro
Foolproof! It changes color so you know when it's dry and ready to sand. Filled nail holes and cracks in my door trim. It was easy to use, no horrible smell, and no shrinkage when it dried. It is also easy to sand and paint adheres well to it. As with all DAP products that I have used, it worked great, a high-quality product for sure.

Fills holes in wood door and door jamb effectively
This worked really well to fill holes in a door and door jamb from an old latch. The product performed as described and was easy to work with. It goes on pink then fades as it cures over night. The label says it goes from pink to white but in my application, it was more of a beige, but that did not matter. Easy to sand and paint at that point. Would buy again.

À complètement séché, rapidement, en quelques jours, une fois le pot entamé. Je suis déçue car ça coûte très cher pour un si petit pot. J’ai essayé de le mélanger avec un peu d’eau, mais ça ne fonctionne pas. Dommage. Ce n’est pas la première fois que ça m’arrive.

Works great but it’s quite a small pot so good for small repairs which was what I needed
