Novol 1155 Unisoft - Universal Soft Putty (1.8kg)
Achieve a professional, pinhole-free finish with Novol Unisoft, a premium soft polyester putty designed for versatile bodywork repairs. This 1.8kg unit is the industry standard for technicians who need a filler that is easy to spread, stays where you put it, and sands down with minimal effort.
Unisoft is specifically engineered to be "softer" than traditional universal putties, making it the ideal choice for both large-scale leveling and fine finishing on various automotive substrates.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Plasticity: The creamy consistency allows for smooth application in both thin and thick layers without "dragging" or tearing during spreading.
- Excellent Sanding: Formulated to be easily abraded shortly after curing. It creates a fine dust that doesn't "clog" sandpaper, significantly reducing your abrasive costs.
- Multi-Substrate Adhesion: Bonds reliably to steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, and glass-fiber reinforced plastics (GRP).
- Low Shrinkage: High-quality resins ensure the repair stays flat and stable, preventing "sink marks" from appearing after the vehicle is painted.
- Minimal Pinholing: The dense molecular structure helps prevent air entrapment, resulting in a smooth surface that often requires no extra finishing glaze.
Professional Application Strategy
To get the most out of your Unisoft 1.8kg tin, follow these professional steps:
- Preparation: Clean the area with Novol Plus 780 Silicone Remover. Sand the metal with P80–P120 for initial filling, or P150–P180 for finer work.
- The "Pea" Rule: Use a golf-ball-sized amount of putty to a "pea-sized" amount of red hardener. Do not over-catalyze, as excess hardener can bleed through the paint and cause staining (discoloration) in the topcoat.
- Mixing: Use a "folding" motion on a clean mixing board to incorporate the hardener until the color is completely uniform. Avoid "whipping" to keep air bubbles out.
- Sanding: Begin shaping with P120–P150 and finish with P240 before moving to the priming stage.
Expert Insight: Unisoft is an excellent "all-rounder." If you are working on a large panel like a door or a quarter panel, Unisoft provides enough working time to get it level, but cures fast enough that you aren't waiting around to start sanding.
