das Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi. Going to refurb the stock on my Guerini Maxum, looks Ok but has a lot of small 'zip dents' from when I bought it. Currently an oil finish. Can anyone recommend a good grain filler, I have previously used Birchwood Casey Sealer and Filler on a stock some time ago but wasn't impressed as I felt it left a somewhat 'plasticky' finish. Any help appreciated. Thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savhmr Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I work with timber almost daily (I design and scratch build high-end speakers and do all the finishing). Small dings can easily be removed without filling. Place a damp rag over the area in question and briefly apply a hot iron. Lift off the rag and examine. You may have to do this several times but it will lift most dents out. Not scratches though which require sanding out. Never be temped to use filler on scratches. It will leave an obvious mark, absorb oil finishes differently and will be prone to breaking out with use. For refinishing the stock any brand of knot filler does the job of grain and knot filling. Trick is not to over apply it and ensure that you rub down using different grades of paper starting with 180 and working down to 400 or more.
