Rustins Two Part Wood Filler

Two part wood filler comes with a hardener and is used for tougher repairs on practically any wood. It provides a strong long-lasting repair for all interior and exterior woodwork. This filler requires you to mix two or sometimes more substances together before they can be applied, therefore drying time is generally quicker than single part fillers. Once the hardener has fully cured, it can be drilled, screwed, planed, sanded and even carved to the correct shape being repaired. We offer two different shades, white or natural but this is stainable.

Wax Filler Sticks

Wax filler sticks can be used before you apply any finish treatment or as a repair to an existing finish. These are ideal for blending in any scratches, dents, small screw holes and chips in any wood surface. They are very easy to apply and completely reversible if you make a mistake.

You can fill small holes, cracks and scratches without sanding or having to strip the finish. Simply scrape off a small piece of wax and soften with your fingers. Then press the wax into the crack or hole using a filling knife or plastic scraper. Flatten down with a plastic scraper and then buff off the excess with a clean cotton buffing cloth.

Liberon Shellac Filler Sticks

Shellac filler sticks are the traditional repair sticks for filling holes and cracks prior to French polishing and varnishing. Unlike other wax fillers, shellac filler sticks are very brittle so that means you must melt the stick with a hot soldering iron and drip the wax into the damaged area and gradually build it up. Once complete allow the wax to cool down and harden fully. Carefully remove the excess with a plastic scraper and flatten to a smooth finish.

The repairs can be completed without sanding the laminate surface, preventing further scratches. Once complete you can use Liberon Laminate Reviver to blend in and cover any other minor marks surrounding the area.

Rustins Grain Filler

Grain filler is used to achieve a smooth textured and high standard wood finish by filling the pores in the wood grain before French polishing. It is commonly used on very open grained woods such as Mahogany, Walnut and Oak furniture. Applying multiple layers of any wood finish without grain filling can cause pin holes to appear in the finish. Always work on a small area at a time. Apply a thin amount of grain filler, using circular motions to work the paste into the pores of the wood. Use a rag to fill the grain and another clean cloth to remove any excess from the surface. This can result in a smooth, high gloss glass finish once polished. We offer three different shades of ready coloured blends of thick paste from Natural, Oak and Mahogany.
