KwikWood is a hand-mixable epoxy putty, formulated to repair and rebuild wood. After mixing, it cures to the same density as wood and becomes an integral part of the repair. For use on exterior or interior applications, it contains no solvents, will not rot, shrink, crack or pull away. KwikWood has a 15-25 minute work life. After 60 minutes, it can be machined, drilled, tapped, sanded, filed and painted. Stronger than wood, KwikWood dries to a light tan color.

Works well when screws are loose
TLDR: This product works on holes where the screws no longer catches and is loose. Recommend letting it cure as long as you can before screwing back again. Great repair option for the price.I have a wooden gate in my front home and after several years of wear and tear and mother nature, the screws were loosening. I tried to put a toothpick in the hole and wooden glue, but the screws will loosen shortly thereafter. Don’t want to use money to buy and replace the entire wooden gate. Been looking at lot for a solution and read about epoxy. After going back and forth, I purchased the J-B Wood Repair Epoxy Putty. I used other types of putties on different items and didn’t think this would work, but for the relatively priced putty, I thought what the heck. After squeezing and mixing the putty, I tried to put the putty inside the hole. Another commenter mentioned using the tail of a comb, but I used a plastic fork (broke three of the spokes) to push the putty in. While the directions says that it will cure fast, I left it to cure for a few hours. After I used the same screws and it seems to be catching and holding firm. Super glad I found this product. For now, it seems to be the best solution. Since the gate is being used frequently, hopefully the putty holds firm from the abuse it takes. Only time will tell, but a good product for repairs.

BEST AT WHAT IT’S FOR
This product worked well when other products failed. Simply follow directions and allow to dry. I had a very large hole to fill after years of screws pulling out of the door frame for a heavy iron screen door. I let it set for about 3 hours, and it took the screws in tighter than it was originally. Even my wife was pleased at how nice the repair looks. If you are unsure of which type of wood filler to use, GET THIS PRODUCT. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and money.

Works for musical instrument repair!
I used this to fill the worn bridge pin holes on a guitar so they could be re-drilled. Luthiers have recommended sawdust and superglue for this purpose, so I figured this would work at least as well and be easier to work with. Because this stuff is the same density as wood, it worked great! You get plenty of working time to mush it into any cavities where you want it. After curing, itâs probably around the same density as pine. Youâre able to dent it with your fingernail if you press hard. Also, it doesnât take stain well after itâs cured so plan on adding dye as you mix it if you need to color match.Now I definitely would not use this for filling any part of an instrument that would affect sound quality such as the soundboard. But itâs great for filling small functional gaps while being easy to remove in the future. I also used it to fix a nut slot on a banjo that was cut too deep, and a 5th string nut hole that was drilled too wide. For those applications it was perfect. I was able to sand, file, and drill the parts to the correct shape to install the new nuts.

Works well, not stainable with oil or gel wood stain
I had to repair a loose Japanese Wa knife handle that I epoxied back in place.Whoever made the handle put a round hole in the handle where the blade fits and I used this JB wood epoxy to fill the voids around the knife blade.Mixing is easy (wear nitrile or latex gloves), it gets very hard when totally set up, it has a putty like consistency that is fairly thick. It is very light colored, like unfinished white pine.I tried mixing this product with several types of stain including oil base and gel wood stains and they would not mix with this epoxy putty.I filled the voids and let them dry and tried the wood stain again and it would not work. This epoxy has zero porosity for oil or gel stain.In my shop, I had a small vial of black epoxy color that I applied with a small artists brush to the light colored epoxy and that worked pretty well.This wood epoxy is 5 stars if you are applying paint over it but staining without epoxy specific was not possible for me.

Truly excellent product
I’m writing this review for anyone who, like I did, needs to find a product that can literally replace the wood that is causing them trouble and provide the strength and structural integrity required for subsequent drilling, screwing, mounting, etc… I wasn’t able to find an individual review that covered those things, all together, specifically, so I had to piece together a “story” that I could trust by reading many, many reviews. If you’re looking for assurance of the capabilities of this product, here it is.This is a great product. I feel like I’m a little obsessed with my pursuit of products that do exactly what they claim to (and even beyond if you have the imagination to find new uses). When I find those kinds of products, I’m loyal for life. Well I’m writing this review because this is one of those products.I’ve tried similar offerings like this from other companies, but they were always a let down. They would get crumbly or be too weak to hold a screw, or never feel truly rigid and strong. This time around I needed something that wouldn’t force me to compromise. This time around I needed something that actually worked as advertised. The final result had to be able to hold a screw and hold up to significant force/weight or my entire endeavor would be a waste of time.Well this KwikWood is the real deal. I dug out a bunch of rotted wood that had completely lost all of its structural integrity. The cavity that was left was an inch wide and an inch and a half deep. There was no wood left to screw anything into. So in comes KwikWood.I mixed the putty as directed (confusing at first because it looked like a single piece of material; however it’s actually one kind of putty surrounded by another and once you mash the layers together, they become one and the capability to be shaped and also harden is activated). I then began pressing it into the cavity, compacting it over and over as much as possible so that it could “become” the cavity. I wanted every nook and cranny to be filled so that the end result would offer zero give. Mission accomplished.I let it sit over night (not necessary, according to the directions, but I was tired) and by the morning I was surprised to find that it had completely hardened. It felt almost like something slightly softer than stone, but much harder than wood. I had to cut it down a little to the perfect shape and using a blade with my hand to do it was quite difficult. What I ended up doing was using a flat head Xacto blade with a hammer in order to chisel away material. Well that worked like a charm. It’s so dense that only what opposes the blade is removed – no unwanted big chunks break off.As far as accepting and holding screws goes, it again lives up to its claims. It is dense and not crumbly. If you have long screws you may actually want to drill pilot holes or it will be some work to screw deeply into this stuff (probably more difficult than with wood).Hopefully this review helps. This is a great product.
