Aqua Coat New and Improved High Performance Eco-Friendly Water-Based Clear Wood Grain Filler Gel, Easily Sandable, Stainable, Paintable, Water Cleanup, Low Odor, Low VOC, Fast Drying, 16 oz

This stuff is FANTASTIC. My finishes are smoother now with this product than ever. When I put a glossy product over this, it shines and makes it much easier to get a mirror-like finish. It is easy to apply (I use an old metal credit card, works great!) and cleans up very well. Two coats are required, and sometimes aggressive sanding is also required...but not that often. The only drawback is that this product does not fill deep crevices well...use something else for that. However, if you are just trying to get a flat surface from virtually any texture, and if you want to see the surface clearly, then this product is perfect.

This stuff is awesome. I had a bottle of this container of this that was so old was starting to crust around the edges and I decided to try this one cause it’s new and improved my take away is it’s definitely new but as far as improved goes, I think that’s more on scientific terms or notable to somebody that knows about its molecular structure. It seemed to work the same as my old one, but then again that one was pretty old so if I had the chance to buy it again in comparison to the older version, I would still choose this one. Great thing is it does fill grain in wood quite fast, but I’ve also used it with various composites and it does help fill pinholes, but generally takes a few coats and and then I sand it off then clear coat. Good value.

Worked perfectly to fill the pores on my swamp ash bass body. Follow instructions and it's easy to use

I filled birds- eye maple with the product. I took four coats because the eyes were deep holes-way deeper than grain. I coated with Old Masters wipe on poly. Look great.

Fills the grain very well for a smooth finish when using stains. Prior to using this, sand down to at least 220 grit, wiping with tack cloth between sandings. Practice on scrap first. This is a water based product, so I would suggest using water based stains. You won't have to worry about how an oil based stain will work, plus, it's easier to clean up and doesn't stink as bad.

I didn't care for the way it dried. It seemed to leave spots in the walnut that I had to sand out. It worked, but sanding sealer does just about as well and much easier and cheaper.

I got into a bit of a high end cabinet/vanity, medicine cabinet, lighting build on a bathroom remodel in our 1918 farmhouse. Reading up on how to apply a finish to quartersawn oak, all the experts say you have to seal the grain. I used this water based sealer, sanded it lightly with 800 grit and then finished with 2 coats of wipe in tung oil. It gave me exactly the mission/craftsman look I was after. It took 1-1/4 containers to do my vanity, medicine cabinet, light fixture, and in-wall niche.

Directions do say to apply thin coats, and by that they apparently mean *very* thin coats. If not, it will crack deeply as it dries. This product is not easy to apply uniformly thin. It's naturally very clumpy. Having tried both this and DAP's Premium Wood Filler, I prefer the latter, because it can go on thicker and not crack. Aqua Coat takes a long time to dry and will crack with deep fissures as it dries if it goes on too thick. Maybe it's good if you just have a tiny area to grain fill, but I don't see myself using it again on bigger projects. In retrospect, I think hot drywall mud would have been a better choice, because it sets very quickly, allowing faster layering, and doesn't crack like Aqua Coat does. It's also far less expensive. My environment is presenlty 70%RH and 70F, and even after two hours of dry time, it's still not dry to the touch. The TDS says it will be dry to the touch after 30 minutes at 50%RH 70F.
