It will depend on how moist and how dry that area gets. Extremes changes in humidity causes the wood to shrink and contract and this product is not flexible in the least. No matter what, I always pre-prime before I put any filler or caulking in any exterior surfaces of my house. Pre-priming gives the caulking or the filler a more sound surface to adhere to as opposed to filler or caulking going against old dried up gray wood. I would use caulking whatever I can because it’s flexible and once it’s painted it should be hardly noticeable, larger gaps I would think about using exterior Bondo wood filler.

Yes, you can. Read what I did below with excellent results: I filled a bunch of cracks on poured concrete roman pillars and their cracked bases and it worked very well, which was a god-send. For 20 years, these pillars would develop cracks, and I would repair them with flexible caulking or other 'crack fillers' and they would look good for a while and then crack again. Last fall, I was looking at the newly expanded cracks and shook my head at them, knowing it was a losing battle. But then, in my garage I spied this product that I had bought years ago. I decided to try it on these tenacious cracks. I mixed up a small amount of Durham's with water until a wet putty stage. I used a soft silicone kitchen spatula to scoop it and spread it into the cracks. Then I used a small piece of smooth car wax-type sponge that I had placed in a bucket of clean water. Squeezing the water out of the sponge, I lightly wiped over the cracks and it easily removed any excess Durham's compound. It dried quickly and within hours I had it painted and the pillars and bases looked like new! What a great product that works on many things besides wood.

Can it used on exterior wood? Is it water proof?
@MrHardware14 жыл бұрын
I have used it on exterior windows, just prime and paint to protect it.

Here's the secret. It may have been mentioned before. As you apply it, wipe high spots with a wet rag. No sanding needed. You can always add more if you wipe away too much.

I am very disappointed by the performance of this product. I do not know what Mr. Hardware is talking about. I used it on interior window casings and it failed miserably. I had cleaned and sanded them and left exposed for 2 months, since I moved to work on another parts of the house. I found his filler cracked and peeled off. Had I painted it, even more of my work would go to waste.

I have had it and other fillers fail when I did not pre prime the bad areas before filling.

It says it can be stained or painted with water based products. NOPE. Not stainable.

They say you can take the stain and mix it in the dry powder, but once it's dry you're right, not stainable

@@darleneredden3251 That’s a great idea, mix the right color powder stain in the mix and you don’t have to worry about staining it afterwards!

Not true.... This guy doesn't know how to use this. I used this and the product was proud and I sanded it with an ordital sander! No problems.
