What happens here

The presenter introduces AquaCoat Cabinet Grain Filler, a water-based wood finish product used to eliminate grain when painting cabinets and furniture. He opens a container of the white-tinted product, showing its thick, resin-like consistency. He explains that it is applied by skimming it onto the wood surface using plastic tools like bondo spreaders or credit cards, which prevent scratching the wood. He also notes the advantage of its white tint, which clearly indicates where the product has been applied and where sanding is needed, a significant improvement from older clear versions.

Goal: Familiarize with AquaCoat Cabinet Grain Filler and its initial application method.

All right. Now, the next product I want to talk about is AquaCode. I've been using AquaCode for quite a few years to eliminate grain when painting cabinets and furniture. Now, AquaCode, let me just open it up and just show you what it actually is. AquaCode is like almost like a solid resin product. It's and it's tinted white and you just skim it on. So I skim it on using like bondo spreaders or I skim it on with credit cards. There's a lot of different things you can skim it on with. You want to skim it on with something plastic. That's not going to scratch, you know, your wood that you're applying it to. But Aqua, you know, fills grain. It's an absolutely amazing grain filler. And some of the things, the qualities that I like about it, one of them is it is tinted white. So you know exactly where you've applied it and you know where you need to sand. And as you're sanding, you need to know what needs to come off. Because really you're just using it to fill grain and wood. And so you don't want, you know, white left over all of the wood just in the grain. So it is really nice and convenient that it is tinted white. I was using it years ago when it didn't even have a color in it. It was just clear. So it's really difficult to see, you know, where it was applied. Then you go apply your top coat. Then you have like, you know, trial marks and stuff like that. Because you missed where the Aqua Co was. Now being white, absolutely, you know, love it. So if they do sell it and clear, you know, if you're clear coating, but we're typically never clear coating cabinets, we're always painting them. So we always, we 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,
