APPLICATION OF PASTE GRAIN FILLER

• Mix the paste filler with a small amount of Mineral Spirits or Naptha.
• Continue to add more solvent until the material is of proper consistency for brushing.
• Wood with coarse pores will require a thicker filler than wood with small pores.
• Apply the filler with a fairly stiff brush.
• Brushing is done with the grain and can be finished by cross-brushing if desired.
• The whole idea is to pack the filler into the pores.  Keep the filler in the can well mixed, as it has a tendency to settle.
• The filler will lose its wet appearance in about 5 minutes.
• Clean off the surplus filler by wiping across the grain.
• Finish wiping the clean rags, stroking with the grain.
• Difficult places can be wiped with a round brush.
• While working with the large projects, watch the place where you start brushing since this may flatten out and require wiping before the whole job is coated with filler.
• If the filler sets up too hard for easy wiping moisten the wiping rag with Naptha.  Inspect the work.
• If the pores are not filled level, apply a second coat of slightly thinner filler immediately, wiping off in the same way.
• Paste Grain Filler should dry in a least 3 to 4 hours.  It is of the greatest importance that the filler be completely dry before any other coating is applied.
• The dry filler should be sanded lightly with 180 Free Cut Paper, and wiped off with a rag moistened with Naptha.
