Im painting (repainting) a Joker Poker and the head sides has pretty deep wood grain. Whats the best to minimize? I have been using a shellac primer with a 320 grit sand. Can I do 2 or 3 coats of shellac to try to fill in the grain. I dont want to bondo the complete side that would be ridiculous...

Quoted from boilerman:i do not use it on large issues. but on games with a heavy grain, it levels out the grain nicely once sanded. after i sand it i put down my coat or two of sanding sealer then it is smooth as a glass. i still use bondo on large issues and holes but this is what i use on grain issues. the benefit is this is easier to sand and holds better on spots that bondo tends to not hold well like very thin layers.
it also makes a stronger corner than bondo. i have had bondo chip off corners but this stuff is tougher IMO
Ive been using this JB Weld wood epoxy for the bigger fixes
