Available in three colors, this product will provide a smooth base for finish topcoats. Product is compatible with most other finishes, including lacquer, polyurethane and our water base products. Bartley recommends using the product before staining and sanding the filler back to the level when it's dry. However, many finishers prefer to use filler over a light washcoat such as 1 lb. cut dewaxed shellac or thinned sealer or finish. This minimizes the tendency of the filler to color the intermediate grain areas and makes the filler easier to apply and wipe off cleanly. See samples below.

Use the Dark Filler on any wood to emphasize the grain. To keep the intermediate grain areas as light as possible use a washcoat (1 pound cut dewaxed shellac or finish thinned to about 10% solids).

The Light Filler is a reddish-brown color that will add warmth to walnut and mahogany, particularly when not used with a washcoat. On mahogany without a washcoat it helps blend the color of the pores to the intermediate reddish-brown areas.

The Natural Filler is formulated to dry translucent and fill the grain without adding any color. Under some finishes it may show as a whitish color so test it on darker woods like walnut and mahogany. Typically the Natural is used by finishers who like to custom tint their colors (with our Japan colors). Wash coating has little aesthetic effect, though it does make the filler easier to wipe off cleanly.
