Aqua Coat Clear Wood Grain Filler Qt by Aqua Coat

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.

Good product

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.

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

Changing the wood color to very weird color. I don't recommend it at all for guitar marketing!

In the 34 years I've been doing woodwork, this is the first time I've used water-based grain filler, and I'm glad to report that this product works great. I have used the oil-based stuff for years to create piano finishes, and while it does an excellent job, it is seriously messy. This stuff reminds me of the old glue paste I used it primary school. It goes on easy, and it washes off with water. There are two things to keep in mind. The first is that you have to understand build coats. Don't expect this stuff to fill in 1 coat. You'll need to apply 3-4 coats, depending on the porosity of the wood, to completely fill the grain. Between coats, use 150 or 180 grit, but only sand it lightly...just enough to give the next coat something to "bite" into. After you get to coat number 3 or 4, let it dry overnight (about 6-8 hours). Come back and sand starting with 120-150 grit to level out the surface. Block sand only! Don't bare hand sand it nor power sand it. Sand until all the shiny spots are gone and the surface is completely flat. Once you get it flat, graduate to 180, then 220, then 320, and then 400 or 600, removing any scratches from the previous coat. Once you get to 400 or 600 and all the scratches from the previous grits are gone, top coat it, and you'll have a mirror finish. The other thing is, DON'T PILE IT ALL ON IN ONE HEAVY COAT. It will crack and ruin all the coats. At that point you'll have the arduous task of removing all of it and starting over. Don't ask me how I know. Lol I hope this helps someone out.

C'est le seule produit a ce jour que j'ai trouvé qui remplisse bien les pores du bois uniformément et qui est translucide une fois sec. Excellente pour le frêne et chêne, donne aucune texture au fini. Il faut bien suivre les instructions. Oui je recommande (dommage qu'il n'est pas vendu en 3.78 Lt sur Amazon.

Super produit recommandé fortement

I have used this stuff for a while now on several projects and it's excellent. Fills the pores very well after a few coats and helps make the top coat smooth and deep looking.
