Color Putty
Color Putty oil-based wood putty for filling nail holes, scratches, and imperfections in woodwork, furniture, and cabinetry. Color Putty Company began in 1963 and is now part of U-C Coatings. Maker materials describe Color Putty as "The Original" colored wood putty, with oil-based formulas for use with oil-based coatings and waterborne formulas for water-based coatings. This brand collection covers Color Putty products currently in the store.
Per Color Putty / U-C Coatings product information, the line offers 17 proprietary colors that can be used alone or blended to match wood tones. Maker guidance for oil-based putty includes intermixing oil-based colors for a desired shade, using with oil-based stain or sealer systems, and finishing with an oil-based sealer or varnish coat. The putty is positioned as flexible after hardening so repairs stay in place; maker directions note it will not dry to a sandable hard, and it is not recommended for tabletops or floors. Try a test sample before full use.
