low end fuzz Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 i dont ever grain fill ,usually epoxy or or spot fill really bad peces or just fill with finish; but i think i should start, for more effects on ash; the only problem is i dont see anyone around here selling grain filler; and lmii stewmac and countless american companies have exactly what im looking for and cant send them across the border; i live 20 mins from exotic woods and lee valley and neither of them have anything that isnt a waterbased paste filler (basically for puttying up finished wood) they are as specialty of project shops as we get around here; countless searches turn up nothing unless i order gallons of it and pay the 'danger' costs; but im not gonna do that; any help would be gggrrreeat!

You might try something like what's recommended here: http://www.ubeaut.com.au/ubhome.htm Click on 'White Shellac' The talc & shellac should be available everywhere.

awilcox Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Check out www.mohawk-finishing.com - I use there walnut grain filler on mahogany and it looks great, easy to work with. Check with you local building supply dealer, most can special order it through the canadian distributor www.richelieu.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 This or this. Sorry, but after seeing the thread title, I really couldn't help myself :D The first one would most likely be easier to work with, and you can even tint it and do a stain'n'sand! OK, I'm going to run away before I get wrath'd upon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 what do canadiens fill their pores with? Molson. Epoxy should do on ash just fine...even better if you've already got some experience with it. Only hitch is that it won't absorb any dye (if you're thinking of doing something crazy like dyeing ash...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
