Q: How is Minwax® Wood Putty® different from Minwax® Stainable Wood Filler?

Minwax® Wood Putty® is designed to fill minor surface imperfections in finished wood.  It comes in ten colors to match Minwax® Wood Finish™ stains and does not harden.  Minwax® Stainable Wood Filler is designed to fill nail holes, cracks, gouges and other defects in unfinished wood.  It does not come pre-colored.  It readily accepts and Minwax® stain and, once stained, will match the surrounding wood.  Minwax® Stainable Wood Filler hardens and is strong enough to hold nails and screws.
