Review: Fantastic wood filler—easy to use, dries fast, and goes on pink so you know exactly when it’s ready! - DAP Plastic Wood-X with DryDex has become one of my go-to repair products. The pink-to-natural color change is super helpful—there’s no guessing whether it’s dry. Once cured, it sands very smoothly and blends seamlessly with the surrounding wood. It’s great for filling nail holes, dents, deep gouges, or even small structural repairs. The texture is thick but spreads easily, and it doesn’t shrink or crack the way some fillers do. It also takes paint and stain well, especially if you sand it down properly. The 5.5 oz tube is convenient for small and medium projects, and the squeeze format makes application clean and simple without needing to open a whole container. If you need a reliable wood filler for DIY repairs, furniture touch-ups, trim work, or woodworking projects, this one performs consistently and gives professional-looking results. Highly recommended!
Review: Easy to work with - Worked great for me for a moderate sized project! I appreciate how it starts pink and dries tan, so you know when it’s ready to sand. It sands really beautifully. I completed this project in 3 layers, took a total of two days all together with dry time and such. All I used were 2 containers of this stuff, a sander, and 120 grit sandpaper. Super sturdy. This stuff rocks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to Work With and Dries Strong
*by J***S on November 9, 2025*

The DAP 540 Natural Plastic Wood filler is one I’ve used a few times now, and it always performs well. It spreads smooth, fills gaps and holes clean, and dries to a solid finish that sands easy. The color blends nicely with most woods, especially once stained or painted. It doesn’t crack or shrink like some cheaper fillers do. Great for small repairs, trim work, or furniture touch-ups. Reliable, simple to use, and leaves a professional-looking finish every time.
