Hey all,

In my quest to find a finish for Mahogany that makes SWMBO and myself both happy, I started experimenting with Crystalac clear grain filler. The one major benefit of it, is that I can apply it directly to raw wood and then sand it back (I can even apply BLO after it's sand). The one major draw back, is it's not much better than shellac, by that I mean it takes a lot of coats to fill the grain. I applied 4 coats to the last test piece i did, and the grain still wasn't completely filled.

Can any of you recommend a clear grain filler that has a higher solid content, that will still allow me to apply an oil or stain after it's been sanded back?
