5150-abrichardson Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I've been to Lowes and Sherwin Williams. Neither have heard of a wood grain filler. I saw some at StewMac and was wondering if it was cheaper anywhere else? From the other places I've seen, it's about 15 bucks a pint. Is this right?

mikhailgtrski Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'm getting good results with the clear Stew-Mac waterbase filler. Easy to apply and you can dye it any color you want. $14.65/pint. woodcraft.com and woodworker.com have Behlens and other brands, but they're not any less expensive. A local specialty woodworking store might carry it - but most regular paint stores and Lowe's/Home Depot don't cater to furniture-type finishers. Your average homeowner isn't doing much grain filling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5150-abrichardson Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply I didn't know how hard it would be to find this product LOL I just want to make sure...looking at this picture, can anyone tell me if simply applying a coat or two of wood grain filler will be all that is needed?

Setch Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 You don't need to do much grain filling there - a few coats of sanding sealer and a rub back would do the trick nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhailgtrski Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Is that the plywood Squier? I think 2 or 3 applications of grain filler should do it. I'm assuming you're doing a solid color? Or what Setch said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egdeltar Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 If your going to paint it a solid color you can just use a 2 part epoxy that you can get at any hardware store. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5150-abrichardson Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Sorry for such a delay in replying. I've been working on some web pages:D yes, that's the plywood axe from my other thread I'm thinking i will try the sanding sealer since it's readily available at Lowes. Thanks a ton! That saves me quite a bit of cash Yes, it's going to be solid colors (Attempting my hand at an eddie van halen clone ) That's very interesting about the epoxy. I would have assumed that to be too thick and too hard once dried to work with ...Ive learned something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
