Greetings artisans, I am faced with yet another finishing dilemma that I don't have the experience to solve on my own. I am working on the main lid of a smaller piano where the color seems to get progressively lighter from the point where the half lid folds over to the end of the lid. It does not seem to want to take stain or especially dye. What do I do? I am thinking of applying a filler to level off what may have been lost from the stripping process. What filler should I use and where is a good place to get it. Is it common to put on stain and filler in one process? I have used a very dark filler in the past but I was working for someone else at the time and have no idea what product it was or where it was obtained. Hints? I hate finishing but I think it's mostly because I'm just not very comfortable with it yet. I know there is a learning curve but i'd rather it wasn't at my customer's expense. ANY hints will be gratefully received! Thanks!! Greg Newell Greg's piano Forté mailto:gnewell@ameritech.net Wasn't there a list just for finishing topics?
