qt Zinsser 04424 Zinsser, Ready Patch Professional Spackling Compound

Creates a much smoother finish than the usual plastic wood fillers (which I still use). The ordor is hardcore; but that is the price you pay for this type of product. I used it to smooth out dings in pine doors before using a paint sprayer on them. I had everything from deepish holes to small pet nail scratches. It smoothed them out and sanded easily. For how hard it dries it sands much easier than expected, e.g. much easier than the epoxy wood products I use when I want to fill a serious hold.I strongly suggest having this in your collection of wood filler options.

I have a shelf full of products that claim to do what this product does so well.All the others failed for one reason or another.Professional furniture and home restorer, and this is the best I've come across. Easy to work, dries quickly, sands beautifully.This one is my go to, for sure.

I have some masonite siding that started to rot and crumble. Before painting, I applied this liberally to the bottom edges of the siding and it dried solid. I am pleased the the result and that it prevented the large expense of replacing an entire section of siding.

Good stuff

First use was flawless. Worked easily and looked great. Although the can was opened for less than 5 minutes, second use the next day was problematic. Product pulled away from itself, leaving zagged, raggedy surfaces. Just installed, I'm unsure of the longevity of the patches. (Patching window frames and redwood siding in a historic home.)

I've been using MH Ready Patch from Zinsser for at least 5 years as a filler for wood projects that are to be painted. I've used it in both inside and outside applications. In one outside project I filled wood defects in stair railing posts that were not protected over the winter in south-central Pennsylvania. I completed the project in the spring by doing a finish sanding and painting, as I usually do. This product withstands cold and rainy weather well. I'd previously used a product that required mixing for outside projects, but I always ran out of the "cream" that was needed to set up the product before the can was more than half empty. MH Ready Patch has been a great alternative.

I have been using this brand of patch for years. It is incredibly easy to work with, sands really well, paints perfectly, and has an almost unbelievable shelf life even after you open the can. I don’t usually need to use a lot at a time, and my last can probably lasted almost 10 years before the consistency became unusable. My local hardware store doesn’t carry this brand, but since it has proven its worth, I was happy to delay my project for a day or two to get it delivered from Amazon.5 stars.

Our home is over ten years old. The deck posts and some boards were splitting on the very edges. We were curious about this patching compound. The reviews we read all stated this was one of the best patching compounds available. It was pricey but once we got to work on a warm day the expense was worth it. The application process went extremely smooth and there was not a lot of clean up, other products dried out quickly and stuck to the floor requiring extra work to remove and at times sand a bit to remove them completely. A wonderful product and we will use it again.
