What happens here

Using a small plastic spreader, scoop a small amount of Aqua Coat grain filler. Apply the filler to the surface of the cabinet door. For the first coat, it is recommended to apply it crossways to the wood grain. This helps work the filler deep into the wood pores. After applying, immediately scrape off the excess product by moving the spreader with the grain. The goal is to leave minimal product behind, as any excess will require more sanding later. A credit card or a Bondo plastic spreader works very well for this step due to its sharp edge.

Goal: Fill the wood grain with the initial layer of Aqua Coat.
