McFadden’s™ Pore Filler

This is the filler of choice to go under all lacquer finishes and has been a standard in the industry for years. McFadden’s™ filler once dry, shrinks little over time and provides a level surface for your lacquer coats. The filler comes in several shades so you can either match the color of the wood or contrast it for effect. You can also use artist’s colors to achieve a particular tint for rare or unusual woods. If it is used on the bare wood, without a sealer coat first, it will stain the wood, which might also be desirable. For example you can darken up light colored Mahogany on a neck for a vintage look.
To apply, work the filler in with a rag moving both with and finally across the grain. Wait a few minutes until the filler starts to flash off (turns dull) and then wipe off the excess with burlap, wiping across the grain only. After it has dried for at least 24 hours then you can start applying lacquer.

Please note that the tranparent pore fill is a buff color in the can.

If thinning is necessary, use Naphtha.
