Instructions for DAP Plastic Wood Cellulose Fiber Filler

DAP Plastic Wood filler is thick, fibrous compound for filling in holes and cracks in wood. There are nine wood-grain colors available to match to an existing project that is already stained so that the filler is not visible. The cellulose fibers in the DAP filler appear as wood grain to hide the repair. Using this product takes minimal time and drying time.
