Dap Inc 12242 Painters Putty Wood Filler

Product Description

The DAP INC 12242 is a smooth, easy-working painters putty formulated for the specific demands of professional painters and skilled tradespeople. Designed for interior and exterior use, this putty fills nail holes, dents, and cracks in wood surfaces cleanly and consistently. It is packaged in water for extended shelf life and resists oil bleeding, which helps maintain a clean finish after painting. The compound accepts paint readily and can also be used to glaze wood sashes, making it a versatile hand tool for finish carpenters, painters, and general contractors working on wood trim and millwork applications.

This putty is suited for residential and light commercial painting projects where wood surface preparation is required. Common applications include filling fastener holes and surface voids in wood trim, window sashes, door frames, and exterior siding components. The formulation is stable enough for outdoor exposure while remaining workable enough for detail finish work indoors. It is typically applied by hand or with a putty knife prior to topcoating. The package quantity of 12 units per case supports production-level use on job sites.
