Very short working time, not practical
Pros: It hardens very hard and is sandable.
Cons: Opened the can to find it a little more than half full. For the price they charge for this product I at least expected a full or almost full can. Directions say working time is 3-5 minutes. No way. At less than 2 minutes it was already hard, would not spread and was unusable. Followed the instructions, tried again, same result. Not near enough working time to make any type of repair practical except maybe a nail hole. Staining: This product did not accept stain at all although the instructions indicate it can be stained. Disappointed in this product. Plastic wood is much easier to use and the result is better.

Can half empty
As with potato chips and cereal, it's always disappointing to open a new product and see the packaging half empty. I'm sure the "weight" probably aligns, but I estimate amounts by volume, so I bought this size can based on how much I thought I'd use. It feels like I've been ripped off.

Product works well, but best to work in small batches because it sets up quickly. I spread about 1/3 cup onto paper plate, mixed with 1 inch long blob of hardener that comes with the wood filler. These small paint sticks made good forms to create flat edges.

Losing another longtime customer to shrinkflation
Hey 3M. Just understand that when a customer pays retail then opens your can to see it half full, the customer gets angry, takes a picture, gets online, blasts you publicly, then never buys your product again. Side note: Why bother with the same size tube of cream hardner then? You might has well add one the size of a pea.

Customer review from 3m.comAug 24, 2025
Outstanding product, does take some practice!
This works very well but does take some practice in mixing. I mixed it too hot the first time and had little time to spread. No worries, after it hardened, I sanded smooth (not off) with 80 grit and correctly mixed and applied the second coat, let it harden, QUICK pass of 80 grit, sanded smooth with 220, two coats of Bin primer, 2 coats of Behr Marquise paint and done. Those who are more instinctively artistic will have better results. This requires mechanical and artistic skill. If you are bereft of both, find someone else to do it. This repair was on wood laminated MDF. Before repair, the exposed MDF fibers were first hardened with Bondo Rotted Wood Restorer and 220 grit sanded smooth. Can opens like any other paint can. This repair does take time and is not instant. You must follow the instructions.

Easy to use for the most part takes a couple tries to mix well. So far holding up well. I would purchase again if needed.

Not good for large repairs.
I expected this product to be formulated for wood repair, but it behaves no different than automotive bondo. It's working time is impractically short for anything other than holes of about an inch or less. Also the 12 oz can was only 3/4 full...shrinkflation. If you are trying to repair a sill or a beam, do not buy

Poor instructions!
Guys, you have contradictory info on your technical data sheet! You say "Yes" for stainable but the icon has a line drawn through it (meaning "No."). You also don't demo how to take the stupid lid off. Can't use the product if I can't get the lid off. Epic technical writing fail.

use ONLY if painting the project
The bondo wood filler worked fine. The problem is that I believed their advertisement " MIXES GOLDEN YELLOW when filler and hardener are mixed together". It is a lie. It mixes GREEN GREEN GREEN. It does not accept stain, it stays GREEN.
