3M Acryl Putty acrylic repair compound — White 14.5 oz tube, low-shrinkage, easy-sanding

3M Acryl Putty (05095) is a white acrylic repair compound in a 14.5 oz tube designed to fill pinholes, small scratches, stone chips and other light surface blemishes on automotive and marine finishes.

This professional-grade acrylic putty delivers easy application, smooth feathering and minimal shrinkage so technicians can restore surfaces quickly before sanding and topcoating. Supplied in a squeezable 14.5 oz tube, the 05095 formula spreads evenly, sands without tearing and is available in fast, medium and slow dry speeds to match different workflow needs. Intended for industrial and occupational use, it helps prepare damaged panels for a uniform final finish when used as part of a proper refinishing process.

How will 3M Acryl Putty improve my prep work?

The putty fills small depressions and minor surface defects so you get a uniform substrate for primer and paint. Its workability allows technicians to lay down a thin, consistent repair that sands to a feathered edge, reducing visible transitions between repair and surrounding finish.

• Fills pinholes, tiny stone chips and light scratches.
• Spreads smoothly for consistent coverage.
• Sands cleanly to a feathered edge for seamless blending.

What are the application and sanding characteristics?

3M engineered this acrylic putty for straightforward application from the tube and predictable sanding afterwards. After the selected drying time, it can be abraded with standard bodywork grits without excessive tearing or clogging, making it simple to level the repair and prepare for primer.

• Dispenses easily from a 14.5 oz squeezable tube for controlled placement.
• Low shrinkage minimizes rework and keeps repairs stable as they cure.
• Available in fast, medium and slow drying options to suit different temperatures and schedules.

Which types of surfaces and damage are appropriate for this putty?

This acrylic putty is intended for light cosmetic and surface repairs on automotive and marine panels rather than deep structural work. Use it to correct shallow blemishes that don’t require bodyfiller bulk, then follow with standard priming and painting procedures.

• Best for surface-level defects: pinholes, minor chips, shallow scratches.
• Suitable on metal and properly prepared painted substrates used in vehicles and boats.
• Not intended for large voids or structural repairs—use specialized bodyfiller for deep damage.

It’s ideal for auto body shops, marine refinish technicians and industrial maintenance teams that require predictable application, sanding behavior and finishing performance.
