I am looking for a filler material for spruce tops. Something that will fix imperfections that are normally only visible after nitro finish is applied. I'm not thinking porefiller. Has anybody tried this? https://www.stewmac.com/luthier-tools-a ... GIQAvD_BwE Claims are it won't shrink or sink. I kind of like that its waterbased which should raise the grain a bit. Got any other ideas (besides excessive sanding)? Mike |

Drop-filling with CA, and scraping, works for me. I use it to help out with binding/soundboard gaps. The link was for a grain fill meant to be applied to the whole surface and sanded back, not a goof-reducer. Soundboards don't need a grain filler. Over time, we develop the correct amount of ding-awareness, and building skill and the search for remedies fades away. We also learn to avoid mistakes that require filling (a work in progress, in my shop). |
