Durhams 1-Pound Rockhard Water Putty

I'd read great things about Durham's Water Putty on a number of DIY sites, and I have to say that it lives up to the hype. I'd been doing some wood repair on doorknobs (to put on new strike plates) with other types of standard wood putty, and while some of those can withstand a little standing, they have a tendency to crumble. Trying to drill in that stuff was a lost cause.Durham's dries hard and quickly, and my pilot holes drilled easily without causing the surrounding putty to crumble. The consistency when done is more like a dried plastic than anything. If you're planning to paint the finish when done like I am, I think it's the perfect thing.I can't argue with the performance, or the price. Plus, since you mix it with water yourself, it has a long shelf life—rather than your standard putty which has the potential to dry out.Fantastic stuff.

Easy to mix.... I didn't know how much I needed and bought more... my neighbor told me about it

Been using this stuff for 30 years. Easy to mix and once fully hardened, can be drilled, tapped and sanded for easy repairs on wood, plaster and drywall. I always try to keep some of this on hand.

Wow! This stuff is amazing! I've used it on so many applications, and it's worked everytime! I just much it to the consistency I need, let it dry and wow! I've drilled into it, I've sanded it, you name it, I've used it to fill the hole from a door handle I removed, sanded and painted over it with great results. It doesn't take a stain and the color is similar to manila folder but it will take paint. I rebuilt a corner brace that was under a table top where parts of the old wood splintered off. Just made a form, filled the gaps with this putty, drilled the lag bolt holes and it was perfect. Too many uses to list here. And a little goes a long way. The directions are a little vague so you'll just need to adjust the water/powder ratio as you go along.

Very easy to work with & ordered some more!

Great price for a very good product. Always have it on hand for any quick wood repairs .

This is an easy fix for a lot of things. I've used it on masonry and wood with good results. It really does dry rock-hard and can be sanded to whatever shape you need. The one-pound container goes a long way and is an excellent value for the $$.

One more way to use this: I do a lot of woodwork, mostly on old boats. I also build items that are to withstand the outside environment (Pacific Northwest) year round.If you use epoxy fillers and adhesives, this putty makes a GREAT filler. Just mix the Rock Hard putty in with your resin/hardener mix until you have the desired thickness. Then just use it (instead of your conventional filler) as you would the regular epoxy; fill holes, bond two surfaces, substrate for painted floor etc.When the epoxy cures, it takes on the appearance of an agate. Very hard and somewhat difficult to sand so you will need to start by not over filling the area where it is used, then use a slightly more aggressive grit and finally, use the finish grit.It can be drilled, screwed, threaded and painted. Very hard when cured.I normally use West System epoxy but I replace their filler with this (for about 11 years now) and I have not had one job come back on me yet.Give this a try, you'll be glad you did!!!ThanksAU//(~_~)\\

Muy buen producto, su presentación es en polvo lo que permite que dure mucho tiempo, y la pasta que se forma es muy manejable para lijar.

Unless you are expert in using this, it dry too quickly that you don't have much time to work on patching the holesor gaps.

So good that my stepson took it to use on his windows

I've been using this for years. It's the best of the powder to hard surface products. It's getting hard to find and too expensive tho.

Cures very fast so keep that in mind. Very simple to use and the results are great when used for repairs on wood
