Product Details

Interlux Interstain is both a wood filler and stain to serve two purposes: it fills the grain of the wood, and stains the wood to enhance its natural beauty.

Filling the wood reduces the number of varnish coats required. Available in Brown Mahogany, Red Mahogany, and Chris Craft Red Mahogany. Interstain can also be used to tint Interlux varnishes.

Out of the package, this product has a thick paste consistency and should be mixed with Interlux Brushing Liquid 333 to the consistency of thick house paint.

Has something changed? Interlux 573 paste stain.

8 months ago

The Interlux 573 Mahogany stain doesn't seem to as far as it used to? We are on our 55th wood boat restoration. Of which 19 have been post war Chris Craft. Riva's, Capri's, Sportsman's, U22 and such like. Our finisher (22 yrs with us) always does the final line sanding himself, and we/he understand the absorbency of Philippine, African or Honduran after line sanding. However we noticed that the one pint can won't stretch as far. A 17ft Sportsman took one pint after reducer, but now we are on to our 3rd pint to complete a 19ft 1955 Capri? And there is a lot of blond on this one. Has anyone else noticed this? Any reason, or are we just getting old? Not complaining just an FYI and a drop in the bucket so far as cost goes. Many Thanks EM

Perfect match!

4 years ago

Easy to use, it fills and stains. The Color (Brown Mahogany) was a perfect match for the Philippine Mahogany on my deck. I used it on seat backs made from Marine Plywood (Fir?) that needed to match the Mahogany deck. I did some filling on the plywood using West System epoxy mixed with their wood flour filler. The stain colored it as well as the raw wood. Finished with 3 coats of varnish. Looks great.

This is not ""Brown Mahogany""

5 years ago

The color is very orange, not even close to red and certainly not brown. Glad I used it on a piece of scrap to test prior to applying to my project. It appears to be good wood filler although it dries very quickly and needed to solvent-dampened rag to remove all of the excess.

Great stuff

7 years ago

You cant get the surfacing putty anymore to fill holes, so I had to fill with epoxy and of course was concerned that when it came time to use the 1579 filler/stain it would not work. To my delight both the mahogany wood and the places where I used epoxy stained identically....Yahoooo

Very easy to use

8 years ago

This product worked perfectly on my mahogany brightwork. The small can will cover a surprisingly large area when thinned with the recommended thinner. The stain is brushed on and then wiped off with a rag (you'll need lots of rags). The color produced is very consistent without any streaking or blotchiness. Fool proof IMO. I used a variety of mahogany stock on my boat, and this product made it look like it all came from the same tree.

Refinishing mahogany trim

14 years ago

I stripped the hatches and other trim components on my 1953 Hinckley. Thought about using a common household product until I noticed it wasn't for external use. Did a little research and purchased this product based on recommendations. It sealed nicely in one coat, and left a really smooth and nicely colored surface to start the varnish build-up which has gone very well.

A: It really depends on how much the product is thinned. I didn't thin it as much as I should have and came out very muddy. Ended up removing first effort and did it again - thinning it more.

3 Answers

A: I am not familiar with this product. I have used ""Famowood"" and mahogany ""Boat Bright"" for screw holes and imperfections and they both work well although for bolt holes you might have to go with actual mahogany bungs stained to match your boat. Steve

2 Answers

A: Interlux Perfection Plus preparation is to clean the surface well with their 2333N thinner to remove any oils. If you do that on the wood filler stain it will remove some color. You may need to test it first to achieve the right combination.
