Novol 31512 Easy Sand – Lightweight Finishing Putty (1.0kg)
Perfect your bodywork with Novol Easy Sand, a premium, lightweight polyester putty designed for effortless application and even easier finishing. This 1.0kg unit is the professional's choice for filling small to medium-sized dents and surface irregularities where speed and a smooth finish are the priorities.
True to its name, "Easy Sand" is formulated with specialized microspheres that reduce the density of the putty, making it significantly softer to sand than traditional universal fillers while maintaining excellent structural integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ultra-Lightweight Formula: Lower density means a creamier consistency that spreads like butter, reducing the physical effort required for large-scale leveling.
- Superior Sanding Properties: Sands down up to 50% faster than standard putties. It won't clog your sandpaper, extending the life of your abrasives.
- Low Shrinkage: High-quality resins ensure the putty remains stable as it cures, preventing "sinkage" marks that can appear weeks after painting.
- High Adhesion: Bonds powerfully to a variety of substrates, including steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, and glass-reinforced plastics (GRP).
- Fine Surface Finish: Dries to a dense, non-porous surface that requires minimal finishing putty (if any) before moving to the priming stage.
Professional Application Strategy
Because Easy Sand is a lightweight filler, it is ideal for "skimming" panels to achieve perfect flatness after a structural repair.
Application Steps:
- Preparation: Clean the surface with Novol Plus 780 Silicone Remover. Sand the metal or old coating with P120–P180 grit.
- Mixing: Mix thoroughly on a clean board until the color is completely uniform. Avoid "whipping" the putty, which can introduce air bubbles (pinholes).
- Application: Apply in thin layers, pressing firmly with a spreader to ensure all sanding scratches are filled.
- Sanding: Begin dry sanding with P150–P180 for shaping, and finish with P240–P320 for a paint-ready surface.
Pro Tip: Lightweight putties like Easy Sand are excellent for use on large, thin panels (like car roofs or bonnets) because they add less weight and are flexible enough to resist cracking under the thermal expansion and contraction of the metal.
