Ronseal 34740 Multi-Purpose Wood Filler - Natural 325g

I bought this Ronseal multi-purpose wood filler for general repair jobs around the house. It’s good quality and easy to work with. It applies smoothly, sets well, and sands down cleanly to a neat finish. For small to medium repairs, it does exactly what you’d expect without any fuss. It also feels good value for money, especially considering the quality and how far a tub goes. Overall, a dependable wood filler that’s easy to recommend.

This was OK, but it had separated into more liquid and more solid bits, and the gunge was blocking the nozzle. When it suddenly gave way I got a bit of a splurge. I recommend kneading the tube a bit before opening to ensure even consistency

The first tube had burst in transit so I sent it back and ordered another. The second tube was like all the one star comments say: it is not a nice, even cream. It has two consistencies and you never know what will come out when. It's either completely fluid and runs over everything. Then the next squeeze is total constipation. I literally had to stand on the tube to get out a centimeter of putty. The goo itself is OK as a filler but in a tube it is totally inaccessible. I managed to fill about half a dozen screwholes before I gave up - my hand doesn't have the energy even when I hacked the nozzle off to make the exit bigger. Unless I got a dodgy tube Ronseal really should withdraw this stuff: It is not fit for purpose.

Worked perfectly on our skirting boards and easy to apply and paintnover

ok

I've used a lot of different wood fillers, but this is the best in my opinion. It is very easy and tidy to apply. Because it is a silicon based product it resists cracking. It even holds up well in floorboard gaps in most cases. There are some old school traditional wood fillers that people swear by. I won't mention any names, but they are more clay based products. I've found them to be messy, difficult to work with and they crack far too easily. This product is far superior to those traditional wood fillers. I wouldn't bother getting coloured filler because it never matches the shade that you need. Matching shades takes a lot of practise, but the biggest hint I could give is this: If you take a dye like "light oak" for example and you can create a lot of different shades of light oak depending on much dye you apply. It took me a long time to realise I could get near perfect matches by playing with the quantity of the dye. Second tip: Score the wood with the edge on your putty knife. When I apply this, I carve the grain into the filler with the knife. It makes the filler look much more natural, like real wood. I usually just continue the character of the piece next to it by "extending" the grain lines. With a little practise and a lot of patience you can make this product look exactly like real wood. Tip 3: When filling floor gaps rub over the filler with the palm of your hand, left right and up and down. It will help ensure the excess is eventually worked into the crack even though it may not have initially been deployed in the right location. [Using the fingers doesn't work nearly as well, needs be the palm] Tip 4: Make sure the dye is rubbed over both the filler and the wood. If it is applied to the filler only it tends to cause dark lines to build up where the filler meets the wood. This happens because the dye is pooling especially if your filler level is lower than the wood. So I always try to rub the cloth liberally rather than strictly adhering to the filler. Tip 5: oil or dye if necessary any wood that you've whitened by sanding the filler. Some repairs I've done look good, but are too white on either side of the filler due to he affect of the sanding. I usually rub linseed oil over the entire floor once finished. It just brings the whole thing back to life and makes it look like new again.

Like many people since lockdown we've been going some long overdue work on our house, including some sanding and filling of the woodwork ready to paint it. It was fairly battered in places and we had plenty of bits from old door fittings etc that needed to be filled before we could work. We've tried a few different brands of wood filler but this stuff is easily the best we have found, and at a great price to. It's simple to apply and dries fairly quickly without too many drips, It's got a really good consistency and it just easy to work with. The bonus is it's actually a bit cheaper from Amazon than in the well known DIY stores we were purchasing it from before, with the added bonus of not having to queue for 20 minutes to get it!

A bit pricey but works well. Good match for filling small holes in wood.

Order twice where both completly dried up

La he utilizado para tapar y rehacer unos marcos de una puerta mordidos por el perro, y la verdad que me ha ido bastante bien respetando los tiempos de secado para poder manipular la zona y darle nuevamente en las zonas necesarias, el color final era el mismo que el del marco asi que no he tenido que pintar, para mi finalidad ha sido un muy buen producto

Easy to apply and sand down. Happy with the results,

Ich habe Ronseal beim Umbau auf elektrische Rollläden verwendet, um das Loch für den nicht mehr benötigten Gurt zu schließen. Auch eine Reparatur des Holztisches, der versehentlich mit der Stichsäge angesägt wurde, ging damit problemlos. Die Paste lässt sich leicht glattstreichen und im ausgehärteten Zustand auch schleifen.

Llevaba mucho tiempo buscando una masilla de madera que ésta. El envase es PERFECTO, se maneja muy bien y conserva PERFECTAMENTE el producto. Es una masilla MUY BUENA, que se trabaja muy bien y cuando fragua y endurece se puede limar, lijar, taladra o pintar sin ningún problema. La utilizo con frecuencia en trabajos de bricolaje y de restauración de piezas de madera. La recomiendo TOTALMENTE.
