GoodFIlla Maple Beech Pine, 12 oz, Wood and Grain Filler Powder, Stainable, Paintable, Sandable, Versatile | Zero Waste

Perfect for filling grains in porous woods, a necessary step for folks building guitar kits and planning to finish the wood. Powder easy to work with and mix to desired consistency, and save rest for later. But, you're probably going to need more than one 4 oz bag for a guitar/multiple coats. Yes, there's a scent. I thought it was pleasant, others might not!

I was not expecting this wood filler to have a pleasant smell, slightly sweet and minty, but it does, and that’s a nice bonus. It mixes easily, works just fine with water, dries pretty fast, seems pretty stable. I’m mostly using it under veneer, in deep gouges, and to fill hardware holes, so I won’t comment on stain-ability or how shellac looks over it. Walnut matches old Singer sewing machine cabinets pretty well. I would suggest grabbing a cheap set of measuring spoons to dedicate to wood filler, and if you don’t already have a digital scale and disposable cups in your shop, you might want to add those to this order. You don’t need anything fancy, just accurate. As for clean up, it wipes off of tools while wet, and if it dries on the tool, you can either flake it off or wash it off the same or the next day. The best part? You mix what you need, you aren’t stuck with a tube that’s going to be dried out the next time you need it.

This product claims that it won't crack over time. While its generally a good filler, this is untrue. Filler was mixed with paint, which is a recommended technique per manufacturer (they even have a tutorial showing this on the brands YouTube channel). Within a few months it had cracked as seen in the picture. However, Id still say its superior overall just because you can tint it to your needs and I like to support smaller businesses.

I build kit guitars to donate and raise money for veteran’s programs. The kit bodies are usually a bit open-grained so to put a smooth nitrocellulose lacquer finish on them I use this filler. It’s pretty simple to apply and then sands well when dry. I’ve had no problems with it holding the lacquer.

Great stuff! Works as it says. Wish I would have found it about 20 products ago. But after this I can finally stop searching for a remedy, filler that becomes part of the wood

So, I mixed this into a thick pancake batter consistency and worked the rosewood colored filler into the grain of a swamp ash body for a guitar, with my gloved hands. You don't have to be too careful about scraping it, although I did use a plastic card to squeegee some of it off, because it dries into an easily sanded consistency after it dries. I imagine a harder mixture like epoxy would be a different story. It worked well and looked good. You have to be careful when applying finishes over it because it isn't super hard, so I put I a few gentle coats of shellac over it after I sanded it off the flat areas to lock it in. It has a pleasant odor and is easy to work with. It is my first time using grain/pore filler, but I found it worked well for me. I will also add that the fact it is in a resealable pouch in powder form means it won't dry out and go bad, and can probably be used again years later. A defininte plus.

I used this to fill the pores of a project made of red oak, which is very open grained. Mixing it was really easy. I started with a real thick consistency, like wood patch. However, I wanted it spreadable so I merely added more water until it felt the right viscosity. It spread on like a charm and stayed put, no dripping. It dried pretty fast andI was able to scrape off any high spots before it went completely hard and sandable. I did let it dry overnight only because I was at end of day in the shop. Next day was the despicable sanding chore. I do have a lesson learned to share: do your filling before assembly, i.e. on the parts before they are glued together. It will make you sanding headache much more bearable.

Shipping: Received a notice from the post office that I needed to pay for shipping, I had to pay an additional $27.20 for shipping because the company negligently used a regular box with a flat rate box post. When j reached out they said theyve" never had a problem in the past" seems like a common practice on reviews. I messaged the company and they gave me the run around and apologized saying they'd fix it, for three weeks. Each time saying they'd get it resolved then at last saying they thought Amazon was handling it and they could only give me 50% refund which didn't cover the additional shipping. Poor attempt to assuage my inconvenience of paying more. I'm fine with paying for shipping, don't tell spring it on me after the fact and act like it was just a mistake. Take ownership for you mess up and make it right. I wouldn't usually go at length to get a few bucks back, but their dismissive attitude toward the issue bothered me. Product: I Used ebony filler on a pine floor for a worn old look. Filler was easy to mix, thickened it with sawdust, spread easily and sanded well. Good clean look and easy to use.
