Linitop Grain Filler (also known as Linitop Bouche-Pores) is a transparent, semi-gloss wood grain filler for interior woodwork. It is used between two coats of varnish to achieve an ultra-smooth finish and is perfect for use with a clear solvent-based varnish.
Grain Filler is used straight from the tin so does not require mixing and has good brush application properties. It fills any surface imperfections enabling you to achieve a superior finish and has exceptional filling properties so can even be used with old varnish in good condition.
Linitop Grain Filler must not be used directly on bare wood, its place is after the initial coat of varnish. Give the wood a light sanding and dust off before applying the Grain Filler and then leave for 24 hours before finishing with varnish.
Ideal uses for Linitop Wood Grain Filler
- Achieving an ultra smooth finish on any interior woodwork

- Reviving old varnish which is still in good condition
- Renovating resinous woods, broad leaved woods and tropical hardwoods

- It is recommended doing a test beforehand on a small area
- Avoid stacking the woodwork before it has completely dried
- After opening the pot it is advisable to use all of the product
- Do not apply to wood treated with a water repellent
- Not suitable for outdoor use
- Do not apply to polishes or sealed wood, or prepare beforehand to make the wood bare
- Complied with the applicable standards and DTU

Surface Preparation
New wood surfaces
- Degrease, sand and clean
- Apply a coat of diluted Linitop Vernis
Previously finished wood
All previous coatings must be completely and thoroughly removed.
- Oils and sealers: Strip with Aquanett or Prepdeck then neutralise with Net-Trol
- Solvent (oil or alkyd based finishes): Strip with Dilunett then neutralise with Net-Trol
- Acrylic finishes (Water-based): Strip with Prepdeck then neutralise with Net-Trol
- Other finishes i.e. 2 pack epoxies, urethanes… Strip with DSP 800 then clean the surface to remove residual paraffin
Then Apply a coat of diluted Linitop Vernis.
This preparation is essential before application.
Note: Hardwoods and woods rich in tannins e.g. Oak, Chestnut, Douglas Fir, Cedar, etc. may darken with Aquanett, Prepdeck and Dilunett, neutralising with Net-Trol immediately after rinsing will lighten and restore the woods colour.
