Fillers & Putty
Putty for a smooth and even result
Putty is an indispensable filler when you want to restore a surface to its original form, making it smooth and even. Putty is used for filling holes, cracks, scratches, and dents in materials like metal, wood, plastic, or aluminum. By applying putty, you even out the substrate so that it is perfectly flat after sanding. This creates an ideal base for primer, paint, stain, or other coatings.
At CROP, as a specialist, you will find a large and wide range of putty for every application. Whether you want to repair a car, fix wood, restore plastic to its original state, or smooth a metal surface: there is always a putty that perfectly matches your job. Thanks to our years of experience, we know exactly which putty works best for each material and repair.
When do you use putty?
Putty is used when a surface is damaged or uneven and you want to repair it before you start painting or varnishing. The filler ensures that imperfections disappear and the substrate becomes smooth again. This is important because paint or varnish makes every damage visible if the substrate is not completely even. After applying, let the putty dry and then sand the surface smooth. Then you can apply a primer or coat of paint. By applying putty first, you ensure a professional final result where repairs are almost invisible. You use putty, for example, at:
- Dents and scratches in cars or bodywork
- Cracks or holes in wood such as frames or doors
- Damage in metal or aluminum
- Broken and cracked plastic parts or objects
- Sanding scratches and small imperfections in substrates
Difference between 1K and 2K putty
There are different types of putty, but the main distinction is 1K putty (1 component) and 2K putty (2 components). Both have their own application and advantages. As a specialist, CROP offers both types; both fast-drying 1K putty for small repairs and professional 2K putty with very high filling power and strong adhesion.
- 1K putty: 1K putty is ready to use and does not need to be mixed with a hardener. This putty dries quickly in the air and is ideal for small repairs and fine finishing.
- 2K putty: 2K putty consists of a base putty and hardener that you mix together. This creates an extremely strong putty with high filling power, strong adhesion, and often anti-rust properties.
