Maiden69 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I sealed the body all over by spraying on sanding sealer. Once this was sanded back to smooth I used ebony grain filler on the front and mahogany grain filler on the back. I'm a little late, but why the sanding sealer before the grain filler? If the intention was to show the grain it would be better to fill the grain before sealing. Once you seal the pores will be smaller, if not closed completely making your "grain filler" worthless. I don't know how "big" are the grain on that wood, never used it before. Either way, the guitar turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewey Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks guys. The idea behind sealing it first was to avoid the filler staining the timber. QLD maple can be very thirsty when a bit too dry and it likes to drink the colour of the filler. The pores are also not small and only a large amount of sealer would fill them.

I do... I don't know how "big" are the grain on that wood "How big the grain is" No mistakes allowed,Miadin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
