Apply Wood Grain Filler

What happens here

Using a flexible plastic or rubber spreader, apply a generous and even coat of Aqua Coat Cabinet Grain Filler to the entire surface of the furniture. Work the filler into the wood grain by spreading it in various directions, ensuring all pores and open grains are thoroughly filled. Immediately scrape off any excess filler from the surface, leaving only the filler that has settled into the grain. Allow the first coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Goal: Fill the wood grain for a smooth, pore-free finish.
