Would you want to put that much of a water based product on your raw wood for pore filling. Maybe after a few coats of shellac? or even lacquer.
use a pore filler for pore filler
I use Stewmac's waterbased grain filler after a light coat of shellac. Doesn't stink and it's easy peasy to apply and sand. I'll let it dry for a day or so then apply another light coat of shellac, then either waterbase "lacquer" or tru-oil finish.
Thanks! That's the ColorTone Waterbase Grain Filler? I am always hesitant to add color to the natural wood. Currently using a stash of Honduran Mahogany. The Mahogany colored stains and fillers are usually too red for my tastes. Do you have any experience with using these on Honduran Mahogany?
