The presenter demonstrates applying AquaCoat by skimming it onto a wooden surface, showing how the tool pushes the product into the grain and pinholes. He emphasizes that the resin fills these imperfections, dries hard without cracking, and does not pull out. This process effectively fills all holes, preventing dark pinholes from appearing after a topcoat is applied. He also mentions that a quart of AquaCoat is sufficient for three to four average-sized kitchen cabinet sets.

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
