Secret tip: put a drop of water in the cap!
I love this stuff! Goes on and sticks very nicely, and when it's dry it's super easy to sand and have the patch look near-perfect. We have a lot of white in our house (trim, doors, cabinets, etc), so I use the white filler, which is a true white, not ivory or cream white. Doesn't take long to dry and paints over very nicely too, if you so desire.
Secret tip: put a drop of water in the lid every time you close it up. It keeps 95% of the clogs away that stop the tube from being easy to squeeze. If you find yourself having to squeeze hard, it's time to put a drop of water in the lid, close it up for 5 minutes and then try again. It generally will be easy to squeeze again. Once or twice I had to use a skewer to poke out a clog that occured from it slightly drying inside from having it open/using it for too long, but every other time the water trick works. If you put in more than a drop, your first squeeze will be quite watery and runny, but after that initial runny burst it'll be fine.
