CRAWFORD’S NATURAL BLEND PAINTER’S PUTTY: TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

General:

  • Putty is packaged in water. Pour off. Do not attempt to mix in.
  • Dry off with towel or rag.
  • Putty is for primed wood only - interior or exterior.
  • Use for small holes and cracks only.
  • Apply with putty knife for best results. Make sure hole, crack, etc. is filled evenly and smoothly. There is no need to sand as this could break the thin membrane that has formed over the putty itself. Take the time to fill it right the first time.
  • Allow putty to cure a minimum of 24 hours for surface skin formation. Do not touch once hole is filled. Temperature, humidity, size of fill or crack, etc. will increase cure times. Your results may vary.
  • If using lacquer or other fast dry products allow putty to cure a minimum or 60 - 80 hours. If not, yellowing under the lacquer could occur and may call for the use of a stain killer.
  • Always use with compatible primers, sealers and topcoats. Ask your dealer for advice.
Technical:
  • Color: White to off white to pale yellow (surface only). Note: In-can surface color may vary depending on vegetable acidity levels in the linseed oil and/or the oil's color range evaluation on the Gardner scale. Although these conditions occurring together are rare they are within our color and viscosity tolerances. Overall product performance will remain unaffected. Remove any yellow and/or skin that might be present and proceed with job. Product beneath this thin layer will appear normal as white to off white in color. When finished top with water and place lid on tightly.
  • Viscosity: If stickiness occurs do not add whiting. Adding whiting will cause possible loss of adhesion. Tip: Remove a small amount from the can and form into a ball. Run under cool normal tap water. Then dry with a cloth or rag. These extra steps will temporality "firm" the product for better handling. As noted this condition is rare but can happen due to linseed oil processing variations. Again all color and viscosity levels are within our tolerances.
  • In can oil separation: Will not occur.
  • Odor: Characteristic.
  • Dry method: Normal oxidation; trade secret.

  • Prime: Yes. Use a primer and topcoat which are compatible.
  • Cure Times: Typically 24 hours. Under lacquer or other oxygen inhibiting compounds wait 60 - 80 hours. Your results may vary. Not waiting may cause product to yellow under surface. To fix this spot prime using the stain killer of your choice.
