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.

Great filler & stain rolled into one!

15 years ago
A little goes a long way! Follow the directions on the can! You can thin this product down to meet your needs. If you want more filling qualities, use less thinner. If you want more of a stain, use more thinner. I used the ""Brown Mahogany"" stain on bare teak. When you first apply it, it looks like a warm red but by the time you work it into the grain and wipe off the excess, the color tones down a bit. When it's dry, you can even out any imperfections with Interlux Brush Thinner 333 and a piece of cheesecloth. I finished off the project with ""Interlux Satin Varnish"" and it toned down the color even more, bringing out more of the warm amber of the teak, creating a very close match to the surrounding wood on our boat. ""Interstain"" is very forgiving to use and has excellent filling qualities for small imperfections in the wood.

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.

Q: null I need to fill old screw holes and bolt holes in mahogany, which will then be varnished. Is this the right product, or what would you suggest?

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.
