Is there a difference in hardwood and softwood putty?
Hardwood putty requires significantly more high quality latex resin. Due to the thin face on hardwood plywood and the fact that most of the patch is held in place by adhering to the edge of the face…not the core…hardwood putty must be of a significant higher quality. Softwood panels are made with faces ranging from .093″ to .1″ allowing sufficient area for bonding of the putty.
