How would I fill in the grain on an oak table to get a smooth finish?
Greg Williams: The best way is to use grain filler, sometimes called paste wood filler. Generally, filling with the coating itself or with a sealer involves much more work, produces a less durable finish, and may cause the pores to have a cloudy look. Most woodworking stores sell grain fillers, either solvent or waterbased, and many sell both.
