Wood Filler not Taking stain - FineWoodworking
2019年12月18日 · The filler color has to be as close as possible to the final stained wood color. There are wax- and sharpie-type pens and I have a few but frankly they never work for me. You can buy them in a set of 3-6 wood colors for around $10 and your can give it a try. You'll probably be more successful with actual paint.
Filling Pores - FineWoodworking
2020年12月4日 · To make the pores darker than the color of the wood, apply a dark brown filler and sand off the excess when dry.

Blending Wood Filler - FineWoodworking
2006年6月17日 · The coat or two of finish seal the wood and make it easier to remove excess filler (or glue) residue. It sounds from your description as if you plan to mix up varnish, linseed oil (or pure tung oil) and white spirits to make a soft long oil type of varnish, so this stuff will produce a protective film, albeit a weak'ish one, that will create ...
Make Your Own Grain Fillers - FineWoodworking
If you wish to dye both the grain filler and the wood, color the linseed oil with artist’s oil or Japan colors, or you can apply just about any oil-based wiping stain.

Timbermate Wood Filler - FineWoodworking

I have had success mixing fine sawdust from the wood used in the piece with dewaxed shellac (I thinned Bulls-Eye pre-mixed with denatured alcohol.) but this has been with non-stained pieces.
Blotches caused by wood filler - FineWoodworking
2008年3月27日 · I filled the holes with a stainable product. Then sanded smooth. The filler takes the stain, but whatever solvent is used in the product did not.

Wood filler for small cracks? - FineWoodworking
2008年7月7日 · I got a great price on some curly cherry last year and have run thru almost all the clear stock. There is a lot of beautiful wood left, but many of the prettiest pieces have tiny pin knots for lack of a better description. After I finish the wood, the holes, maybe 1/16" diameter at most, are aways visible whether I use oil, varnish or shellac.
Grain filler for walnut - FineWoodworking

wood filler for cherry dining table top - FineWoodworking
2004年7月5日 · First, the actual filler doesn't seem to be a matching wood, but some composite that tries to become a porous structure, not unlike end-grain wood (but it doesn't finish like wood). Second, there is a lot of solvent to give it long shelf life (which causes it to shrink and become loose as the solvent evaporates).
