Furniture makeover using AquaCoat, Ekasand, PaintLine, & Apollo Precision-5 HVLP sprayers.
What happens here
Apply a generous amount of wood grain filler, specifically shown as 'AquaCoat Cabinet Grain Filler,' to the surfaces of the furniture (sides and top). A flat plastic or metal spreader/putty knife is used to spread the filler firmly and evenly across the entire surface, working it into the wood grain. This ensures all natural pores and textures of the wood are filled, creating a uniform and smooth base. Excess filler should be scraped off immediately to minimize sanding in later steps. This process is demonstrated on multiple furniture pieces and various surfaces throughout the video.
Goal: Fill open wood grain to create a smooth, level surface.
