always want our Aqua Co tinted. So one of the reasons why I really like Aqua Co is the application process. You're actually traveling on skimming it on and it actually pushes it down, you know, into the grain and into those pinholes and fills it up. The resin fills it up. It dries hard and it's not going to crack and it's not going to actually come out, but it completely fills the holes. So when you go to applying your top coat, you don't have really dark pinholes. A thing of a Aqua Co like this, this core of Aqua Co is from my experience, like an average set of kitchen cabinets. This will probably do three to four, you know, average sets of kitchen cabinets. Now, the investment to Aqua Co versus, you know, spraying on several gallons of grain filling primer, you're going to be a lot more money. And then you're going to be doing a lot more sanding trying to sand, you know, that primer flat. Aqua Co is guaranteed. You're going to get this super flat finish. Now, Aqua Co is great, you know, for achieving a super flat finish, like on tabletop. So if you're a tabletop, if you want a glassy smooth, you know, without any type of grain profile to it, you know, multiple coats of Aqua Co is going to achieve that for you. People see me use it on cabinets. I've used it on furniture and they say, and I'll put on one, I'll skim one coat on because what I'm trying to do is fill all the pinholes. I actually want like a grain profile. I don't want to eliminate all that profile. I want to just fill all the holes and pinholes so you don't see, you know, dark, ugly holes in the final product. Now, if you want to eliminate what we call the grain profile and actually get a 100% flat finish, you're going to want a sand apply Aqua Co and then sand it and then apply Aqua Co to get it sanded. But Aqua Co is that absolutely amazing product. It's simple and easy to use. It is water based, which I absolutely love. It's almost no odor to it. You can take and use it and it doesn't smell bad at all. It's a very light odor, kind of pleasant odor to it. It says it's an eco friendly. It's a water based wood finish and you can actually apply it on bare wood. You can apply it on a lacquered cabinet, a varnish. You can put it on painted surfaces. You don't actually have to, you know, had a primer first and simple, easy cleanup on your tools. Just whatever spedders you're using, they wash up with water. If the product actually dries on the tools, you can still get it off pretty easily. You…
