Duplicolor Filler Primer For Grain Filling...

[fyb]

I'm working on building a bass out of white ash. I'm still pretty new to building and finishing, but I've used Duplicolor products a few times before (once on a guitar refinish), and I was wondering if I could use something like their filler primer for grainfilling under a solid color coat.

Here's some info about it ... http://www.duplicolor.com/products/premium.html

What do you think?

I used duplicolor filler primer on my guitar, before the color coats, and it worked fine. Just make sure you sand it a little rough so your color sticks well. 240 or something. I'm new to finishing though, and I have only used the primer once.

not on ash! It will take tons of cans to get it nice. Use an epoxy better. Harder and fills in the pores almost complete on the 1st time thru.

Thats a good point. Ash is pretty much the roughest and deepest grained guitar wood out there. I've had good success using Duplicolor primer, paint and clear over mahogany. I wouldn't mind trying a voodoo finish some day...when I get some ash.

Is epoxy tough to use though? I've never used it to tell you the truth

What sort of epoxy works well for this?
