How do i apply material

I've used this on several guitars (including mahogany, spruce, padauk, bubinga). After sanding, I apply any stain I might want. Usually, I just use Minwax natural to add depth with not much color. I follow that with a coat of Zinsser Wax Free Seal Coat, diluted 50:50 with denatured alcohol. After a light sanding I do 2 or 3 coats of Aquacoat, using either a motel keycard as a spatula or just rub it in while wearing nitrile gloves, making sure to wipe off the excess to minimizing sanding. After it's dry, I lightly sand it, looking carefully for any spots that had build up, and finish it off with a dozen plus light coats of aerosol Deft Lacquer (gloss of your choice).

If this has a jello consistency, how will it stay in place when applying it to my upper cabinet frames? Won't it run off a bit?

Yeah, it will stay in place in a vertical application. Even upside down. It's way thicker than Jello. More like vasoline once spread. Once any stain or sealer is applied, I add a coat of gloss finish. Then, you can really see the pores or tear out your trying to fill. Add a the aquacoat, let it dry (20 minutes or so), sand, and repeat a few times. Then, proceed with finishing. Works great.

I have old polyurethaned oak cabinets. Do I clean, sand prime cabinets first then apply aqua coat or is the process reversed?

The most successful process for refinishing your cabinets with Aqua Coat Grain Filler would be as follows. 1 We highly recommend you do this process completely to the end on the back of a drawer to help you assure success. 2 Sand with 220 grit sand paper. Wipe down with a dampwater paper towel or old t-shirt. Do not use tack rags. they contain oils or wax 3 De gloss 4 On your sample drawer back, apply 2 coats of Aqua Coat Grain Filler with a credit card. bondo blade, rag for curves. Lightly sanding with a 320-400 grit paper in between coats. You are not sanding it down, you are not sanding it off, the only reason you sand is to form a better bond between coats. Only sand immediately before applying the next coat. 5 for testing purposes On half of this drawer back apply a third coat. When you have completely gone through the testing process you will be able to decide if you need 2 or 3 coats. Lightly sand 3rd coat with 320-400 immediately before applying primer. 6 Apply 2 coats of a high build primer water based, oil based, solvent based 7 Apply 2 coats of a quality paint. water based. oil based, solvent based To save an immense amount of time we highly recommend going completely through the testing process to see if you need 2 coats or 3 and have confidence in your process.

Have you had any problems when filling in deeper gouges or chip out? I have used another product and it left the areas white when it dried.

If you left areas white then you applied it to thick. It is a pore and grain filler. Not a deep gouge filler. If you would like to touch up deeper indentations add a little sawdust from the piece you are working on to the grain filler.

Works well and invisible

Used to grain fill cedar neck and rosewood back and sides on a guitar build. Approximately 3 coats required, each lightly sanded before re-applying. Subsequent varnishing came out glass smooth.

It takes a lot of work to completely fill the grain!

It does not work as good as my home made filler, and it is far to expensive ,it is however easy and clean to use.

Use an old credit card, not a squeegee

Works very well, but my first attempt went very wrong as I applied too much over too big an area, and ended up with a very patchy surface as squeegee didn't remove the excess which had partially dried in patches.Second attempt - Applied across the grain with an old credit card (edges smoothed with VERY fine sandpaper), then excess removed along the grain.Light sanding between applications plus a hoover and tack cloths to remove dust.Excellent result on large oak table with subsequent clear matt varnish
