In Response To: Strip: filling staple holes and other areas (john sullivan)

I had reasonable results with bigger staple holes (the ones that elongated when I pulled them out and any dings I made pry stubborn staples)by raising the grain with a little water between grits. the wood sweeled enough to close the holes up so that they weren't any bigger than the others.
