NC Putty

Overview

What is a NC Putty?

NC Putty is a solvent-borne, nitrocellulose-based surface filler. It is knifed onto prepared woodwork to fill nail holes, joints, dents and grain, then sanded flush once dry. Because it dries within minutes and sands cleanly, it keeps production moving in furniture workshops while ensuring the topcoat lays down flat and even.

FAQs

Common Questions About NC Putty

What is NC Putty used for?

NC Putty is a fast-drying nitrocellulose filler used to level dents, nail holes, pinholes and open grain on wooden surfaces before applying a sealer or topcoat. It gives you a smooth, uniform base so the finish looks even and defect-free.

How is NC Putty different from wood filler or wall putty?

Wall putty is cement or acrylic based and meant for masonry. NC Putty is solvent based, dries within minutes, sands very easily and is designed to work under NC, PU and melamine coating systems on wood, MDF and primed metal.

Which surfaces can NC Putty be applied on?

Wood, plywood, MDF, particle board and suitably primed metal. It should not be applied over damp, oily or unprepared surfaces.

How long does NC Putty take to dry?

Thin applications are usually sandable in 15–30 minutes. Deeper fills should be built in two or more thin layers rather than a single thick coat.
