ColorTone Waterbase Grain Filler

Application instructions



i-5576 Updated 04/04

ColorTone Grain Filler is designed to fill in the pores in any open grained woods such as ash, mahogany, rosewood, walnut, and koa. It will produce a hard, smooth non-shrinking base prior to the application of stains and finishes.

Application
1. Prepare surface by sanding to 220-grit. Remove all dust, oil and solvents from the surface. Apply ColorTone stain (if desired) to the bare wood.
2. Brush on ColorTone Grain Filler liberally in the direction of the grain. Allow 3-5 minutes to dry. Work in small areas of 6" or less at a time.
3. Use a grain filler spreader or plastic card to squeegee off excess filler. Wipe at a 45 angle to the grain.
4. When dry, wipe off remaining residue with a clean dry cloth. Sand surface with 320-grit sandpaper.
5. Clean up with soap and water.

Notes
  • If additional filling is required, allow 2 hours drying time between fills. Re-apply stain if desired.
  • ColorTone grain filler can be tinted with Color Tone liquid stains or waterbase pigments before application.
  • Allow drying 2-4 hours before applying ColorTone Waterbase Guitar Lacquer or Sealer. Allow 24 hours before applying nitrocellulose based coats of ColorTone Guitar Lacquer or Sealer.

    Keep from freezing.

    Use in well ventilated areas. Avoid inhaling residue.

    Keep out of the reach of children.
