HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Surface: Begin by ensuring the wood surface you intend to repair is clean, dry, and free from any loose debris, dust, or grease.
• Apply the Filler: Using a putty knife, spatula, or your hand (wearing appropriate gloves), firmly press the Goop Walnut Famowood Latex Wood Filler into the crack, hole, or defect. Make sure to overfill the area slightly to allow for sanding.
• Allow to Dry: Let the applied filler dry. The drying time typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the application, humidity levels, and ambient temperature. A thin film will dry within minutes.
• Sand Smooth: Once the filler is completely dry, use sandpaper to sand the repaired area flush with the surrounding wood surface. Start with a coarser grit if necessary, then move to finer grits for a smooth finish.
• Finish as Desired: After sanding, the repaired wood surface is ready for your chosen finish. You can paint, varnish, lacquer, wax, or shellac the area as you would with natural wood.
• Clean Tools: While the filler is still wet, clean your tools immediately with water or soap and water. If the filler has dried on tools, a chlorinated solvent or steam may be used for removal.
• Store Properly: After each use, securely close the container of the wood filler to prevent it from drying out and to maintain its shelf life.
