Has anybody tried J.E. Moser’s transparent water based grain filler? Or know who makes it? Or the filler used in the Bogdonovitch book? |

Stew-Mac sells a clear water base filler. Maybe it's the same one. I use it & like it. BUT seal with shellac first. Mike |

because of the water on the wood? or some other reason? how did you arrive at it? Sorry for the grilling, I need to chose a plan very soon. |

I was wondering about shrinkage. It also says on the Stew-Mac site that it dries pretty quickly (a couple of hours). Is that so? How hard does it get? Any additional info on this product would be appreciated. Cheers Pat |

I use the shellac so the water in the filler will not raise the grain . Shellac does but not as much. It does shrink so i usually use 2 coats on deep pore woods. It does dry hard in a few hours if you apply thin coats. It will fill any low spot or small hole if you need to. I like it because it leaves the wood looking natural. I sand back to the wood then apply another coat of shellac-then waterbase finish over that. I like the look of really smalll pores in a finish-i can't stand the dipped in plastic look. mc |

Filler used in the Bogdanovic book was Enduro War-R-Base. There's a picture in the finishing section. That was bothering me, I've read the book several times ![]() Google come up with suppliers at http://www.compliantspraysystems.com |

Thanks for your input guys. Colin, I was embarrassed to read your post and then notice the photo in the book. ![]() |
