BEAUTIFUL the finish with the grain filler...defiantly a MUST

I agree. It takes time but makes all the difference for Lane pieces.

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

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

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.

Nice explanation. Did you use the same process for applying grain filler to the legs? Or, did you skip the step and only apply toner?

In my Lane restoration I show you those details. But I only grain fill the top and glaze everything else including the legs.

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

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

@@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.

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

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.

Is the sealer before the oil base filler nessesary? I

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

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

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

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

@MadManRestorations

5 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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