Secret removing wood grain! #topsecret #tips #grainfiller
What happens here
Once the first coat of grain filler is completely dry, sand the surface again. The video shows using an orbital sander for this. This sanding step smooths out any raised filler and prepares the surface for subsequent coats. After sanding, inspect the surface. If any grain is still visible, reapply another thin coat of Aqua Coat Cabinet Grain Filler using the plastic spreader, ensuring to work it into the remaining grain. Repeat the sanding and reapplying process as necessary until the wood grain is entirely filled and the surface is perfectly smooth to the touch. The video specifically mentions using a Bondo plastic spreader.
Goal: Achieve a perfectly smooth, grain-filled surface ready for painting.
