Lacquer and grain filler sources
#3

Ditto. I'm in mail-order only country and Constantine's has always worked for me for the filler. On my last order I bought 'neutral' colored filler for the first time. To me it seems that their colored filler adds too much darkening to a cabinet...almost like a stain. But then again the neutral looks kind of whitish in the pores of the grain. Guess you have to mix your own concoction if its an issue. The past few cabinets I have done relied heavily on toner so its a moot point.

As for toner....I buy from whoever will ship rattle cans to Puerto Rico. The list gets short very quickly. The Mohawk products are good. Just observe the difference between the dye vs pigment versions. I can never remember the trade names. Ultra something or other, etc.

I use locally manufactured lacquer. They don't sell satin here. PR folks like 'shiny'. But you can make lacquer come out as you prefer with appropriate finishing techniques.
