Product Information

Exterior concrete areas including driveways, courtyards, parking areas, walkways and domestic garages: In terms of what epoxy mortar is, it’s simply aggregate mixed with a resin and hardener which, when cured, forms a flexible, waterproof plug which (as there is no drying out involved) does not shrink. As most repair compounds are quite fast setting, regardless of what they are; epoxy, latex or cement based they will need to be prepared and mixed with either water or a specific hardener before they are used. However, in many cases, the user isn't entirely sure where they will need to use the wood filler, so it may be more beneficial to opt for a light-colored, general-purpose wood filler that is resistant to water, dirt, and dust. This makes it possible to apply the wood filler almost anywhere and have it be suitable for the task. In addition, the light color means that it's easily paintable to match the wall, ceiling, or baseboard, or any other surface.

DAP Plastic Wood is the best wood filler overall.
