What happens here

After applying the first coat of grain filler, allow it to dry for approximately 30-40 minutes. Once dry, scrape off any excess material from the surface using a plastic scraper. You can scrape either with or against the grain, but avoid using a rag at this stage as it can pull the filler out of the pores. Repeat the application and scraping process for a total of 3 to 4 coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat, until the pores are completely filled and the surface is smooth.

Tools and materials

  • Rag — Carefully cleaning edges after scraping, if needed, but primarily for application in the previous step
  • Scraper — Removing excess grain filler

What they say

Hide

once you insert that the first layer is on scrape off any excess material you can go with the grain or against the grain it really doesn't matter at this point as long as you don't use a rock because if you use a rag and start wiping any of the excess material off you are in jeopardy of pulling off any of the wood grain that we already put on the first coat into the pores allow the material to dry for about thirty and forty minutes before applying the remainder two to four coats depending on your project after three or four coats
