Amazing to reform edge of cabinet.
This stuff is amazing as I had to reform the edge of my cabinet door that our dog had chewed on. Looks perfect now and paints over easily and is very hard compared to the original wood.

Perfect wood epoxy for filling holes and missing chunks.
Works like an absolute charm! Used this to fill in latch holes in doors that were way too big. This putty was so easy to work with. Rolled it up, shoved it into the hole, and after an hour in was solid and ready to drill and chisel. Even a rather large chunk solidified as expected. Probably could have used extra curing because it was so thick. The middle was just a touch soft, which gummed up the drill bit a little. Didn't stop me, though, and it didn't seem to hurt anything. Absolutely elated with how this product turned out! I will say the putty is a bit thick, so it's useful for larger gaps. I would not be able to work this into smaller cracks or holes. But there's plenty of other products for those cases.

Easy Fix for Dog Damage — Saved My Window Sill and My Deposit
This stuff is amazing and very easy to work with, even if you’re a beginner. I used this to repair a window sill that my dogs had decided to chew up like it was their dinner (lol). I was stressed because it looked bad and I was worried about losing my rental deposit. This epoxy putty was simple to shape and apply. It hardened quickly and sanded smoothly so I could paint over it. Once I finished, you honestly couldn’t even tell it had been damaged. It saved me from having to replace the entire sill and probably saved me a lot of money in the long run. If you have pets, kids, or just normal wear and tear in your home, this is a great product to keep on hand. I highly recommend it and would definitely buy it again.

Works well, not stainable with oil or gel wood stain
I had to repair a loose Japanese Wa knife handle that I epoxied back in place. Whoever made the handle put a round hole in the handle where the blade fits and I used this JB wood epoxy to fill the voids around the knife blade. Mixing is easy (wear nitrile or latex gloves), it gets very hard when totally set up, it has a putty like consistency that is fairly thick. It is very light colored, like unfinished white pine. I tried mixing this product with several types of stain including oil base and gel wood stains and they would not mix with this epoxy putty. I filled the voids and let them dry and tried the wood stain again and it would not work. This epoxy has zero porosity for oil or gel stain. In my shop, I had a small vial of black epoxy color that I applied with a small artists brush to the light colored epoxy and that worked pretty well. This wood epoxy is 5 stars if you are applying paint over it but staining without epoxy specific was not possible for me.

Saved my front porch pillars!
Pros: * Heavy-Duty Rebuilding: Rebuilt missing edges and corners on chewed-up porch pillar bases, saving me from having to replace the entire pillar or base. * Long-Term Durability: Six months later (after molding, sanding, and painting), the repair has held up exceptionally well outdoors through the weather. * Easy to Work With: Hand-mixable epoxy putty molds into shape smoothly and adheres strongly once prepped. Cons / Important Notes: * Fast Working Time: You only have about 20–25 minutes maximum to shape and position the putty before it starts setting, so work quickly. * Hard Curing: Dries rock-hard, which is great for strength, but manual hand-sanding thick repairs will quickly tire out your arm—an electric sander is definitely recommended for larger jobs. Tips for Best Results: * Prep the Surface: Make sure to rough up the repair area first so the epoxy gets a good grip. * Drying Time: Wait a full 24 hours for it to fully cure and harden before doing your final fine-sanding and painting. Verdict: A total lifesaver for outdoor wood repairs. It allowed me to restore structural edges on my porch pillars rather than spending hundreds on replacement wood. If you take the time to prep the surface properly and use a power sander for the finish work, the results look seamless and last.

Who doesn't love JB Weld????
Another great JB weld product! So my son came through the garage with a weight bar not realizing the door right across was closed....I didn't want to replace the whole door, so I gave this a try. I pulled the door, screwed in some screws in the hole for structure, and filled the space with this putty. I put wax paper over it and rolled it flat with a rolling pin...use what you have I say! After it dried it was completely solid. I sanded it until it was flat all around. Because it's a wood filler it did leave a little texture on my flat door, I patched over it with a dap filler (the pink one...aslo bought from Amazon). It came out very smooth. After painting it, you can hardly tell. I have to look at it from the side to even find the repair. The filler dried hard, it looked like there was never any damage. I have even knocked on the space and it's completely solid. It's actually harder than the rest of the door. It's been over a year, and there has been zero shrinkage. I also used it on a shelf I bought clearanced because of damage. Similar procedure....I drilled holes and added toothpicks with some wood glue for structure. Once it dried, I cut the toothpicks level to the height of the rim. Then, I molded the jb weld around the space, sanded it, and stained it. There's a lot of stuff out there to fill a space, but with this stuff you can completely recreate. I have saved hundreds of dollars using this product...way worth the money!

Great product
Very easy to give a shape and it cures really well. After cured, it becomes rock solid. I am really satisfied!

Not brown is all.
It came out a lot lighter than it appeared to be on the listing and what it said it was on the listing. It was a very light beige or even a cream color. By the time I found that it wasn't going to get any darker (because I was hoping it would change as it dried or something) it was too dry to take off. Now I have to find some special chemical to take it off with. It dried pretty quickly for putty. Everything else seems to be true about the product. If it was the right color, I could easily sand it out to smooth it. It was slightly annoying to put on over the gouges and scratches I was trying to fill in over my wooden silverware drawer. It didn't want to stay where I put it. But after a bit of fiddling with it, I got it where I wanted it.

Works really well. You can’t notice it after painting.
Really easy to use. Had a great furniture that cracked during moving time. The weld filled in and dry beautifully and my son finished with paints. From a distance you would never notice.

Brilliant product that exceeded my expectations
This product has been awsome in my wooden boat. Can be used everywhere, is sandable, stainable and is as strong as existing wood. I will be purchasing more.

Excellent product
As described. I mistakenly broke one of my Ikea wardrobe pieces knowing how much fragile Ikea wood is. Used this product to fix it and it did exactly what it supposed to do. Fixed it in less an hour.

Amazing results!!
I broke the shelf of my TV cabinet during assembly. The screw holding the shelf broke, and took with it a chunk of the MDF board. I did a youtube search and decided to order this kwikwood. I followed the instructions on the box. The putty was easy to mix and apply. One hour later after application, it got rock hard, and was easy to sand down and paint. My Tv cabinet now looks like brand new! Definitely worth it
