For larger holes use, Minwax High Performance Wood Filler.

Application Steps

• Squeeze a liberal amount of Minwax Stainable Wood Filler into the area to be filled and press firmly into place, using a putty knife. Fill slightly above surface to allow for sanding while minimizing overspreading on surrounding areas. Remove excess
• Allow the filler to dry completely. Dry time will vary depending on depth of area to be filled. Most common shallow repairs will dry within 2 hr. For deeper holes, fill in layers 1/4" at a time, which may require 2-6 hr to dry
• Sand filler smooth and flush to the wood. Remove all sanding residue before staining, topcoating or painting

Application

Before filling, test stain on scrap wood with filler. Choose a Minwax penetrating stain, such as, Minwax Wood Finish, Minwax Water-Based Stain or Minwax Gel Stain and apply according to the label directions. After staining for interior use, apply a protective clear finish such as Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane or Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish for long lasting beauty and protection. For exterior use, apply a protective finish such as Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane. Minwax Stainable Wood Filler can also be directly topcoated with a clear finish or painted.

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands after using. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not transfer contents to other containers for storage.

First Aid

In case of eye contact, flush thoroughly with large amounts of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If swallowed, call Poison Control Center, hospital emergency room, or physician immediately.

Warning

Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup.
