Goodfilla Ebony, 8 oz, Wood and Grain Filler, Stainable, Sandable, Zero Waste, Non-Toxic, USA Made

We refurbished and repaired our white oak hardwood floors and used this to fill in some cracks and voids. It worked like a charm. It was slightly thicker than we wanted. We thinned it down a little with water as per the instructions and it spread beautifully. The color matched pretty good. We haven't stained and varnished/polyurethaned yet, but I will update once we have those results.

Im very new to woodworking. I made a table using oak for the legs and mahogany for the top. The oak legs were stained very dark almost black. I had a 2.5in piece of mahogany that is very dark and beautiful. At least I think so. The remaining boards are multiple shades lighter than this dark piece but still have attractive figure. I wanted to keep most of the natural color my mahogany had but add a very mild red tint. Secondly, I discovered mahogany has a pretty open pore structure so I wanted to fill the pores in to hopefully arrive at a smooth finish. I mixed about 2 Tbs filler to 4 Tbs water. After a quick stir with a stir stick, I arrived at a very liquid consistency like red water. I didn’t want to slather a thick paste on my work surface because I imagined the removal of a thick paste being a hassle. I applied the solution using a cheap foam brush covering the surface just enough to fill in the pores. I left this to dry for a few hours. Sorry I don’t remember how many hours but I did make certain the wood was completely dry. Lastly, I used 320 grit abrasive paper before applying the filler so I continued on with the 320 grit to remove the excess filler.I’d never made a coffee table, never used mahogany wood and never used a filler prior to this project. Having never used a filler, I have nothing to compare it to but I was very pleased with the ease of application, the color and the smooth texture after filling the pores. According to the directions, you can add stains, dyes etc to the product if you desire a different shade. Hope this helps you decide if this product is right for you.

I grabbed the Neutral Goodfilla mostly for grain-filling an oak desk, but it’s turned into the catch-all fix for every nick, gouge, and pore around the house. The paste spreads like cake frosting, levels itself in the grain, and after 15 minutes is ready for 220-grit, no waiting overnight, no mystery shrinking the next day.First project was an oak desktop: one thin swipe, light sand, then stain. The filled sections took color so evenly you can’t spot where the pores were. Since then I’ve tinted small batches with water-based dye to patch a walnut coffee table and even mixed in black pigment to fake ebony plugs on a pine bookshelf. Cleanup is just a damp rag; brushes rinse out under the tap instead of soaking in solvent.• No cracking or sinking, even on deep screw holes• Accepts oil, water, or lacquer finishes without blotching• Fine sanding dust -won’t clog paper after two passesMinor warning: leave the lid loose for even an hour and the top skin starts to thicken, so I press a circle of plastic wrap against the surface before sealing the tub. Small hassle for a filler that’s saved me at least three separate products. If you work with open-grain woods or just want a ready-to-tint patching compound, this 8-oz jar punches way above its weight.

I have been a hobby woodworker for years. Using wood filler always feels like a failure. However, this stuff is amazing. I will never by another wood filler ever again. I built a herringbone desktop and using this stuff the gaps completely disappeared after sanding. I could not be more happy. The red oak color was a perfect match for my red oak lumber. I strongly recommend. It also dries very quickly.At first, I was a little taken aback by how small the tub was. It's sold by weight, not volume. It still goes forever. Just remember to close it well after use. The small tub will make many projects.

I was not sure what to expect as I have never installed hardwood floors. All I knew was that I needed filler for a few areas. This was easy to work with, matched nicely, and it even smelled nice. Great product!!

Works well, but the smell... it's not a bad smell but it is strong (perfumy) and lasts forever. We can't even store it in the sealed container inside of a bag in a closet. It was too strong through all of it!

I use this for small gaps between the planks in my hardwood floor and to correct small dents and splintering on small woodworking projects. I'm a complete novice and just watch YouTube videos to figure out WTF I am doing and have generally very limited patience and just want my projects done. Anyway, that's exactly why this product is great - for the small gaps I have used this product to fill, it does the job. It dries in maybe 15 minutes - I haven't actually timed it, but I usually apply some on the damaged area, leave for a while, then come back and sand it down smooth before covering with my stain or topcoat or whatever. It sands perfectly fine and I honestly can't tell the difference against my natural maple wood (which is the only wood I've used this on now that I think about it) unless I inspect it closely with a magnifying glass like inspector gadget or something, but again, I don't have time for that.A side note, I read some reviews saying the product doesn't dry or they have to leave it for 12 hours and it's still not dry. Well, you have to apply a thin layer, remove the excess, and use on smaller patch repair type projects - don't try and recreate an entire piece of wood or use this to replace a giant chunk out of a piece of wood and then act surprised when it doesn't dry in 15 minutes - it's not magic. You're going to need a resin filler or something for a project like that, not a water-based wood & grain filler...

Wow! Best stainable wood filler on the market!The texture is like thin peanut butter, so it goes in smoothly and doesn’t shrink. After a quick sand, it stained beautifully! It blends beautifully with the stained wood.
