Why You Should ALWAYS Grain Fill

In this video I go over how to grain fill, wet sand, and hand rub. This was used on almost all MCM Lane furniture pieces. This is absolutely the best way to refinish to achieve the original factory look. There are no substitutions.

320 grit wet/dry sandpaper

I didn’t know about this, but it looks so amazing

It's a game changer for me. It takes time but is totally worth it.

The cocktail table looks great. Love the comments at the end about oils and polyurethane!

Is the sealer before the oil base filler nessesary? I

@MadManRestorations 6 месяцев назад

Yes, because you do not want the filler to come in direct contact with the raw wood.

Why would you sand with the grain, wouldn't that take out the grain filler?

@MadManRestorations 7 месяцев назад

Good question. Using 320 kind of prevents that. The goal is to sand the excess filler that's on the surface not the grain. Let's say I used 150 grit and sanded the whole too like and initial sanding then yes, the filler in the grain would probably be removed. I hope this explanation helps.

@@MadManRestorations my boss had me going against the grain using the burlap but everything else you've done in the video is what I do. I work in antiques. I was looking for a better technique than what I was doing but thanks for the reply. I'll subscribe 👍🏾

Why you should, and why I never will. lol Glad I never mess with Lane Acclaim pieces. Turned out very nice though.

@saraannpaske Год назад

Beautiful smooth finish but you lost most of the contrast with the two different woods. Wouldn’t be my preference but it still looks good

@MadManRestorations Год назад

Acclaim was originally dark with not that much contrast which is what I try to do. Thanks for watching 😊

Could this filler be used for example, on oak kitchen cabinets?

@MadManRestorations 7 месяцев назад

It could. But I would try a water based wood filler because this stuff is a pain to use. Amazing results but I can't imagine doing a set of kitchen cabinets with this product.

Thanks for the video! What is the equivalent to burlap? Cab I use an old t shirt?

@MadManRestorations Год назад

Hmm. I'm not sure. You really just want to take the excess off before using sandpaper.

@Matan2222222 Год назад

@@MadManRestorations do you recommend cleaning the sanding dust (after sanding the grain filler) with Naphtha? I want to spray a nitrocellulose lacquer over the grain filler but I'm afraid that oil and lacquer doesn't "play" well together.

@katieflannery8279 Год назад

Did you apply a glaze to this table or did you just use toner and sealer? Thanks!

@MadManRestorations Год назад

For this table it was: sealer, grain filler, sealer, toner, lacquer. But I have put glaze over the 2nd coat of sealer before with good results.

I’m confused because your first video was “PROPER LANE ACCLAIM RESTORATION” and now this is “why you should always grain fill” when you didn’t grain fill on the “PROPER LAN ACCLAIM RESTORATION.” I see the obviously smoother finish with filling but the coloring doesn’t look as good. Two different techniques.

@MadManRestorations Год назад

Using glaze instead of grain filler is a suitable proper refinish for Acclaim. Grain filling with hand rubbing is the true factory finish.
