Quick drying wood putty?

[sofakng]

Well, I was really looking forward to priming my cabinet tomorrow but I ran out of wood putty.  Major bummer.  That means unless I can find a quick drying wood putty I will have to wait until the end of the week before I can even begin priming it

Does Home Depot or Lowe's sell any good quick drying wood putty?  

Something that drys in an hour (or less) would be perfect.  I do want to do this cabinet the right way so if I should get a long-drying brand over a quick drying brand please let me know.

Thanks.

I just bought some Elmer's putty at HD and it dried in 1/2hr or so.  These were just filled in screw holes.

1/2 meaning a half hour?

I'm looking to mostly fill in screw holes (and a some hair-line gaps)

Minwax makes a very fast setting wood filler that sets and is ready to go in 15 minutes.

Bondo. (lightweight catalyzing autobody filler)

seriously, It's non-shrinking, hardens and ready to sand in less than 10 minutes..

I second that. Plus, you can even build up HUGE gaps with bondo, if you just practice a little patience.

All I can say is don't buy whatever brand Wal-Mart sells.  I'm at work, and I can't think of the name of it, but I know it was in a squeeze tube and they only had one brand at the store here.  I bought that crap thinking that they would all be relatively the same, and I let it sit for a couple of days before I got the chance to paint...I used a run of the mill black latex and spots where that stuff is almost turned grey when the paint dried.  It bascially absorbed the paint instead of being coated by it.

Selly's Plastibond.

It's a plastic putty, and you mix it with a hardener (it comes with the main tube).  Drys in roughly 20 minutes and is rock hard, meaning you can actually drill and screw into it and know it will hold.

The stuff is actually sold for puttying up metal and ceramic objects, such as tiles or fence posts.

And it costs only $7 AU.  Well worth it, and I've used it all around the place knowing that the screws I put in it will hold the monitor (and tray).

Sorry yes.  I will edit my post.

My vote goes to Bondo as well....  That stuff is great!

Well, my father actually picked some up for me... it was Elmer's Wood Filler.

So far I've been having fun putting the cabinet together, etc, etc... but this wood putty is a PAIN!!

Anyways I extra-filled all the screw holes (and spaces between the pieces of wood) and I'll sand it down and prime it tomorrow.

Does the wood putty need to be applied perfectly?  As I mentioned I just filled the holes (and quite a bit extra) then I plan to use a power sander to sand it so it's flat...

[hyiu]

that's why you should try to put all screws from the inside...

hen you don't need to care how it looks on the inside... and the outside stays perfect....

Another vote for Bondo. Besides the little gaps, dings, and screw holes, you can fix major cab damage with it.

I found it to be a pain if I tried to fill the screw holes flush.  Instead I applied more than was required, which made it easier to fill the hole without it 'rolling' out.  Then I sanded the extra.
