And now, we’re excited to introduce the WOODPRO-X Repair Kit—the ultimate solution for wood repairs of all sizes.

This powerhouse 3-in-1 formula fills cracks, smooths out wood grain, and seals the surface.

Even if you’re new to wood repair, this makes it simple to achieve an invisible fix.
Wood Repairs Made Easy
DAP’s wood repair solutions empower homeowners and professionals alike to restore wood pieces to their original beauty. Below, we’ll explore some common wood repair projects and how DAP products simplify each one.
Fixing Furniture
Has your favourite wooden chair suffered nicks or cracks? Or is a cherished table showing signs of wear from years of use? Materials like Premium Wood Filler allow you to fill in scratches and dents while achieving a smooth tabletop finish with its grain-filling capability.
For deeper gouges or structural fixes, the WOODPRO-X Repair Kit provides maximum support and durability. Once dried, you can sand the repair for a smooth finish, then stain or paint it to blend seamlessly with the rest of the surface.
Repairing Wooden Doors
Wooden doors endure a lot of movement, which can lead to stripped screw holes or worn-down edges. The WOOD PRO All-Purpose Wood Filler is perfect in this scenario, as it can be moulded and sculpted to repair edges or corners. Its strength allows for secure anchoring of screws after drying, ensuring the repair holds firmly over time.
Sealing Outdoor Structures
Outdoor furniture, decks, and wooden fences often suffer from weather-related damage, such as rotting or cracking. Both the WOODPRO-X and WOOD PRO fillers are suitable for outdoor use when paired with a waterproof coating.
For example, if you’re repairing a cracked outdoor bench, WOODPRO-X will provide excellent filling and finishing support. After sealing the repair, you can coat it with exterior latex or oil-based paint to protect it from moisture and UV rays.
Restoring Flooring
Scratches, chips, and gaps in wooden floors can ruin the room’s aesthetic. For minor surface damage, Premium Wood Filler works wonders for creating a seamless repair that can be easily stained to match the flooring’s original tone.
For deeper gouges, layer the repair with WOODPRO-X, ensuring each layer dries thoroughly before sanding and finishing. This approach avoids shrinking or cracking, leaving your floor looking good as new.
Custom Home and Woodworking Projects
From restoring antique furniture to crafting custom cabinetry, DAP’s wood fillers allow for endless possibilities. The Premium Wood Filler’s colour-blend technology ensures an exact match for intricate projects.
