    Which epoxy and pigment ?

    I am currently building an oak frame for a bathroom mirror. In the frame I will be inlaying colored epoxy. The oak frame and the groove for the epoxy will be painted brown. The epoxy I plan to pour in will likely be tinted light blue or I may stay with clear. Does anyone have a experience...

    Grain filler question

    Does this stuff have an expiration date, or does it ever 'go bad'. I have a can that has been sitting around for about 15 years and wondering if it is OK to use. Or just get off my cheap rear end and buy another can. Thanks.

    Grain / pore filler for jatoba?

    What's the vote on using a filler on jatoba / brazilian cherry? I'm starting to figure out the finishing schedule for this project, and I can't decide how I want to finish it at the moment, but an application of danish oil on a scrap tonight made me realize how open the grain is.

    pore filler recipe?

    I've used a commercial oil-based filler before with moderately good results. I put a coat down on a scrap today, which resulted in 2 conflicts with this project - first is that I'd need to tint it. I can do that, but I'd rather not. Next is that it contains silica fillers, which dulls my scraper...

    Grain filler

    I recently tried my hand at using some Behlen's grain filler on a red oak project (bulletin board for the workshop). WOW - what a difference. The ultimate finish (lightly stained) was much more consistent and w/o the typical dark coloring in the pores. When I finally manage to purchase a new...

    Strong wood filler

    This picture shows the result of a second rate bedding job on a double barrel shotgun, a Brizilian made FIE, to be exact. The recoil has caused a fair size piece of wood to exit the stock, which is lost, and I'm wondering what kind of a wood filler might be most suitable for making a repair. It...

    Need pointers on using Behlen Water Based Grain Filler. The can I have is called Neutral which is kind of light cream/white colored. Should it be tinted with a tint near the same color of the wood or the stain to be used or what? Any info would be helpful. I had planned to use in on red oak but...
