I've been using DAP Crackshot lately. It goes on very smoothly if applied with a very flexible putty knife. Actually, it is a joy to use if you are looking for smooth. There's very little to no sanding and sands very good if needed. I've done some deep repairs in a 4x8 exterior exposed beam in multiple applications. In other application I patched some wood siding and didn't get to topcoat for a few weeks. I thought it would get washed away from water backsplash, but it held fine until I got to paint it. It's not as hard as a wood filler, but for small repairs I really like it.

oval14 Adrienne Juskalian I am going to order a box tomorrow! Have you ever heard of https://www.bestlaminate.com/coretec-plus-enhanced-plank-manila-oak-50lvpe760-wpc-vinyl-flooring/ I was going to order from there, it looks a little cheaper then purchasing from the local shop....thoughts? oval14 - any pictures to share? I joined this Facebook group Luxury Vinyl Flooring Advice that has tons of pictures of the Manila Oak.....the floor looks Fabulous in every picture! When you get to site just search for "manila oak"....it really helped with my decision as did my discussion here with Adrienne Juskalian - thank you! I will share more after I get my box!

@greenhearted Z5a IL Thank you! It is a tough decision!! I like the floor a lot, but it’s not infallible! I don’t particularly like the grooves, if Flooret had a non-groove option I would have chosen that! Contrary to what people say, stuff does get caught and accumulate in the grooves!! The dark color does show stuff. I don’t know what to say about that. I just didn’t like kingswood, but I would have preferred a slightly more medium brown over brenwick. Other shades were too gray or too light for me. Overall I am quite happy with it. I like the large planks a lot. Workers coming in have been impressed with it...even thinking it’s real sometimes and wanting to know the brand. Truthfully, I’ve had to take care of my dad the last few years in another state and I haven’t been there living in it with day to day use. Only been there once in while for a few days. Kinda crazy. That’s why I disappeared off this thread for a while. So it’s a little bit hard for me to give a thorough review, but I hope this helps...Good luck!!

We had planned to install the Coretec Grande Lotte Oak (installed in kitchen only); however have ultimately chosen to go with a lighter color - the Makkah Oak -- in remainder of home. I have approx 1,500 sq ft available for sale -- willing to offer deeply discounted pricing. We are located in WI but can ship. Pls contact me at jwire@tds.net if interested.
