What happens here

After sanding, thoroughly clean the cabinet doors to remove all sawdust, especially from crevices and detailed areas. Once clean, apply the Aqua Coat clear wood grain filler using a rag. Wipe the filler onto the surface against the grain in a circular motion to ensure it penetrates deeply into the wood pores. Apply a generous, heavy coat to saturate the wood. The goal is to fill all the open pores characteristic of oak wood.

Tools and materials

  • Rag — Applying the Aqua Coat and cleaning up excess
  • Scraper — Removing excess grain filler. A plastic scraper or even an old credit card works well
