Application Tips (General Guidance – Refer to Product Label for Full Instructions):
Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of any loose material, paint, or old finish. Works best on unfinished wood.
Application: Apply the wood filler firmly into the defect using a putty knife or similar tool. Slightly overfill to allow for sanding. For deep repairs, apply in layers 1/4 inch thick, allowing each layer to dry.
Drying: Allow the filler to dry completely. Drying time will vary based on the depth of the fill, temperature, and humidity. Refer to the product label for specific drying times before sanding or staining.
Sanding: Once completely dry, sand the filled area smooth and flush with the surrounding wood. Start with medium-grit sandpaper and finish with fine-grit.
Staining:The repaired area is now ready to accept Minwax oil-based or water-based penetrating wood stains. Apply stain according to its label directions.

Product Questions
Q1: Can I use this wood filler on already stained or finished wood?
Minwax Stainable Wood Filler is primarily designed for use on unfinished wood surfaces before staining. Applying it to already finished wood may result in poor adhesion or an inability for the filler to accept stain properly if the surrounding finish seals the wood. For repairs on finished surfaces, you might consider Minwax’s color-matched putty or wax sticks.
Q2: How well does this filler actually match the stain color of the wood?
This filler is formulated to absorb stain similarly to how wood does, allowing it to blend in well when stained with Minwax penetrating wood stains (both oil-based and water-based). The key is to apply the same stain used on the surrounding wood to the filled and sanded area. For critical matches, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Q3: How large of a crack or gouge can this product fill effectively?
It’s ideal for small to moderate cracks, gouges, nail holes, and knot holes. For very deep defects (e.g., deeper than 1/4 inch), it’s recommended to apply the filler in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before adding the next, to prevent cracking or excessive shrinkage.
