Wood putty or spackling compound are used often in basic home repair. Problem is they often come in little plastic tubs and after a few uses, you find them drying out. Why? Because the base evaporates due to the tub top not sealing tightly.
Well here's a little tip on how to extend the usable life of your wood putty or spackle. Simply cover the tub with a household plastic wrap like Saran Wrap® and then place the tub cover on tightly. This helps seal the air out of the putty or spackle and extends the usable life of the product.
