Buying Guide: Wood Putty Sticks

Where Putty Sticks Work
Use the stick on nail holes, mitered joints and scratches on cabinets, woodwork, paneling and veneer. The White stick may also be used on vinyl, leather and various craft projects. Apply it after the final finish coat has hardened.

Applying and Cleaning Up
Test the color on the surface first. Rub the putty over the hole or scratch, then wipe away the excess with a cloth. Mineral spirits can help remove leftover putty.

Choosing a Shade
The shades include White, Natural, Dark Brown, Red Brown and Mahogany. Test your chosen shade on a hidden spot, since the colors can be blended to adjust the result.
