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, 32 oz

Let me tell you about AquaCoat. This stuff will ALWAYS be in my shop. I've got the clear and I've got the white. I started using the clear on a pine electric guitar body. I used a plastic squeegee to apply the clear AquaCoat to the wood. it worked great but it left lines. I contacted AquaCoat to see if it able to be wet sanded. They didn't know. So I tried it. I thought what the heck. If it didn't work, I'd just start again. But, let me tell you, the wet sanding worked perfectly! I saw a guy on Youtube applying AquaCoat with a paper towel. So I tried that too. It actually worked better than using a squeegee. AquaCoat is water based and there are no fumes. I sat in my recliner at home and used the paper towel to push the AquaCoat into the grain. Using the paper towels allowed me to push the product into the grain and it left a very fine coat. It would dry it less than 30 minutes. I put about four coats on in just an hour or two. Then I wet sanded and had a perfect base to then add primer and paint. A quart of this thing will do several guitar bodies. The white AquaCoat actually has more particulates in it and will fill your grain faster. It will also help you see where you sand. If you try AquaCoat, you'll be a fan too! It is easy to apply, dries quickly and sands easily. It seals the wood quickly. The clear dries completely clear. This is great stuff!

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.

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

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.

It worked just fine sealing the grain. It spreads on very easy and dries fast. Two coats took care of it.

I saw this product mentioned in a Fine Woodworking video and thought I would give it a try on project I was starting in red oak. Did a great job of filling the pours and resulted in a very smooth finish. I typically finish with a homemade wipe-on concoction of oil and varnish, basically the “Maloof” finish, and the first coat came out very smooth. Super easy to apply, use two applications for best result, wait 45 minutes between applications and sand lightly with 320 grit. It’s ready for the first coat of finish after curing over night. It does seem to slightly tone down the amber glow you normally get with an oil finish applied to untreated wood.

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.

Dieses Füllmittel kommt aus den USA, ist aber genial. Sogar eine Baumscheibe (also die extremste Form von Stirnholz) kann so verschlossen werden, dass man ohne Farbveränderung eine seidenglatte Oberfläche bekommt. Die kann man dann ggf. lackieren, muss man aber nicht.
