Woodwise Full-Trowel Filler is a pre-mixed, water-based wood filler made to be troweled across the whole floor. It is thinner than Woodwise Wood Patch, so it spreads easily and works down into cracks, small holes and open grain before the final sanding.

How to apply
- Rough-sand the floor and remove any wax or oil.
- Spot-fill larger voids first.
- Before the final sanding, quickly screen the floor and vacuum the dust.
- Pour a workable puddle and trowel back and forth across the cracks and voids so the filler goes in deep. A smooth-edge trowel is the tool for this.
- Fill from the bottom up, removing the excess as you go.
- Let it dry thoroughly before sanding. Drying time varies with humidity and airflow.
Test a small area first. Do not bleach. Clean tools with water before the filler hardens.
Frequently asked questions
Which color should I pick?
The colors are named for the wood they are made to match. Pick the one for your species, and test a small area first if the floor will be stained.
How much do I need?
Woodwise states that a 3.5 gallon bucket fills up to 3,000 sq ft. At the same rate a 1 gallon bucket would fill up to about 850 sq ft. Floors with wide or many gaps use more.
Full-Trowel Filler, Wood Patch or Patch-Quick?
Full-Trowel Filler is for filling a whole floor. Woodwise Wood Patch has a higher solids content and is the one for spot filling. Patch-Quick (1.5 lb bag or 6 lb box) is a dry patch for large voids that sets hard in 30 minutes and does not shrink.
