Are those deeper marks dents!? If they are, you could try steaming them out (using a damp cloth and a hot soldering iron). I have never tried this but others on the forum have with lots of success.

After using timbermate, I usually use a slightly higher grit paper like 240. I have never used angelus stain - but maybe test it on some scrap wood which has been filled with timbermate.


I'm not sure about the plywood. The website just says Basswood body on two places

One of the marks is a a millimeter deeper and other one is flush with surface.

So i thought if I fill it with grain filler it may become flat. But I'm not sure how cosmetically it will look.

Are there any videos for the Soldering on damp cloth? I shall have a look in youtube

Thank you
