BARTLEY OIL-BASED PASTE WOOD FILLER - Use Bartley Paste Wood Filler (oil-base) for filling open pored woods (oak, ash, walnut, mahogany) to provide a smooth, glass-like surface for subsequent coats of finish. Produced is formulated in ready-to-use viscosity. Remove excess filler with rubber squeegee, then burlap. QUART CAN.

 

 

 

 BARTLEY PASTE WOOD FILLER     Natural, Light (reddish-tan color), Dark (deep Van Dyke Brown)

#2031 - Quart Light  Bartley Paste Wood Filler - $20.95
#2032 - Quart Dark Brown Bartley Paste Wood Filler - $20.95
#2064 - Grain Filler Spreader/Leveler - $7.95
#1134 - Genuine Burlap - $4.00/yd 

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.

There are many ways to apply paste wood filler. We prefer to use the following method.

1. Stain the wood if you wish. You can use any type of stain that you wish, dye, wiping stain, gel stains etc. Allow to dry completely
2. Apply a washcoat of 2 lb cut dewaxed shellac or use lacquer sanding sealer if applying a solvent lacquer like Behlen Qualalacq. Vinyl sealer can be substituted if your schedule uses it. Allow the seal to dry.
3. Sand lightly with P320 stearated sandpaper. Go lightly and do not cut through the sealer or filler
4. Apply the filler with a brush and remove the excess with a squeegee/leveler or plastic scraper going at a 45 degree angle to the grain.
5. Let the filler dwell just long enough so that it "hazes" - typically 15 minutes or so. If the filler is drying too rapidly you can slow it down with some mineral spirits.
6. Remove the excess filler with burlap or a terry cloth type towel using it across the grain at first. Then finish up very lightly in a circular motion.
7. If filler is hard to remove in some areas because it has set up, moisten a rag with a small amount of Naphtha and remove lightly.
8. Allow filler to dry 48 hours. If waterborne or oil based finishes are used as the topcoat we recommend sealing the dry filler with one more application of dewaxed shellac first.

General Glaze Effects Wiping Glaze - Glaze Effects are translucent water based wiping colors used to create decorative finishes such as distressing, marbling, rag rolling and wood graining.  The most popular use for glazes is over opaque finishes for "Distressed Paint" finishes. Glaze Effects can be inter-mixed or layered to create custom colors. They may also be layered over one another to create deeper, richer looks. We strongly recommend purchasing the General Extender if you have never worked with water based glazes before.
