00:00:01.730 --> 00:00:04.490
To apply Aqua Coat Grain Filler,
you're going to want to use

2
00:00:04.490 --> 00:00:08.720
a flexible stray edge such as a bondo
blade, rubber squeegee, an old credit

3
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.390
card, your fingers with a glove on,
a rag,

4
00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:13.980
or anything that helps you
force the product into the grain.

5
00:00:14.410 --> 00:00:17.950
A common mistake is the instinct
to apply a lot of product initially.

6
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:19.780
You're only going to need thin coats.

7
00:00:20.090 --> 00:00:22.430
Because it is water-based, it
will dry quickly,

8
00:00:22.430 --> 00:00:24.930
which is why you want to work
in sections, as you can see.

9
00:00:25.370 --> 00:00:27.680
Make sure your last pass
is with the grain.

10
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:30.740
This will remove any excess you still
have on your project without removing

11
00:00:30.740 --> 00:00:32.240
the filler you've already applied.

12
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:34.500
Give it 45 to 60 minutes to dry.

13
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:36.860
Another common mistake is sanding too
hard.

14
00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:40.550
You only need to scuff sand
lightly with a 320 grit sandpaper

15
00:00:40.550 --> 00:00:43.540
or Scotch-Brite only immediately
before your next application.

16
00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:45.880
You're not sanding it down or off.

17
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.980
You're only sanding it for adhesion
of the next coat.

18
00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:51.860
Don't use tack rags at any point
because they have oils and waxes

19
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:52.600
in them.

20
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.750
Two to three coats are recommended
and don't forget your aqua coat top

21
00:00:55.750 --> 00:00:56.900
coats for a nice finish.
