Thanks. I'm glad my stream is helping someone else out BD. Mark, the Timbermate I have is 4 In 1 and specifies it is for grain filling as 1 of the 4, not sure if this is what you mean but it might be alright.

So, I'm giving the shellac - timbermate - sand - shellac palaver a crack. I mixed up the timbermate thick so it approximates a runny paste and painted it on. I setup a fan to aid in the drying and once the first application had dried, I gave it another coat. I'll let that sit a week, periodically hit it with the fan again if I'm in the workshop, then give it a sand and a spray bottle mist with shellac.
Other than the shellac, this is the method I used with the mahogany with good results.
I'd post some pics if I took some. :rolleyes: I'll try to take some before sanding
I found another technique, Timbermate - sand - sanding sealer - Timbermate again (if it needs it) - more sanding sealer (if you added more Timbermate). I got this from Fletcher custom guitars:
I contacted the owner who I had seen on YouTube and he was really nice about it.
I am having a go at this, I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks everyone for your help, and BD I might look into that if I do another kit. Thanks again for all the help,
Regards.
Dave did some great videos a few years back, he has been too busy to do any for a while now.

I used Feast & Watson Sanding Sealer on my JB-4M.
I did about 7 coats which got me to where i wanted to be :)
I actually e-mailed David, he then provided me his number and got me to call him so he could walk me through what changes have happened to his process.
BD, I have a nitro sanding sealer
