## Description

Aqua Coat Water-Based White Cabinet Wood Grain Filler Gel – Fast Drying, Low Odor White Wood Filler, Sandable & Paintable for Interior & Exterior Repairs, Upgrades & Restorations – 32 oz - desertcart.com

Review: Works well, if you carefully follow the instructions - Initially, I made the mistake of ordering their clear gel version of this product, and attempting to put it on top of a coat of BIN primer. It instantly yellowed and cracked. Avoid the clear gel unless your topcoat will also be clear; it uses a different chemical formulation and isn't as effective as the white product. If you are painting old oak cabinets white, this is the grain filler to use. See my picture for a result of what my cabinets look like after three very fine coats. Here is my advice to getting a perfect result: 1. Apply using a spreader--desertcart recommended the Dynatron 358 Spreader 3-pack from 3M and they are fantastic and absolutely essential for proper application. The flexibility of the spreader and fine edge makes it easy to "push" the grain filler into the recesses of the grain, and using the long spreader it is very easy to scrape off the excess leaving a perfectly flat finish. 2. Apply VERY THIN COATS. You're only trying to fill the voids, nothing more. Aqua Coat recommends three coats and I've also found that three coats seem to result in an almost perfectly flat surface. No, it's not as flat as MDF, but that's why you're still going to want to apply two coats of primer and a high performance white enamel cabinet paint with good leveling characteristics. Do not cheap out on your topcoat! These are cabinets, and they demand a high quality topcoat like General Finishes Pigmented Poly in White (if spraying), or their Brushable White Enamel (if brushing). Spraying is always preferred. 3. Between coats, hit it with a 3M scotch-brite pad (I use the purple "very fine" variety) to remove the dust nibs and scuff the surface enough for the next application. Literally a quick pass is all it takes. Then, remove the dust you just made with compressed air or a damp rag. Compressed air is better as you don't have to wait for it to dry. You don't want to apply this product to any damp surface. 4. When you're using the spreader, initially apply the gel perpendicular to the grain, to "push" the material into the grain. On your finishing pass, use the longest spreader possible and go with the grain. This will ensure your spreader is riding on the highest material and you'll get the best results. 5. If you see cracking once dried, it means you applied too much. I had some very minor cracking in the corners where the cabinet center panel met the rails and stiles. It's tough to really fish out all that build-up, but I didn't stress about it because I will be running a thin bead of caulk around the entire center panel. This is a best practice when painting previously stained cabinets. White is incredibly unforgiving and you'll notice every tiny gap if you don't caulk ahead of time. 6. Your time is valuable. Don't waste it by grain filling the back of the cabinet. Focus on the front, and where the grain runs the deepest. I didn't even worry about the rails and stiles because I observed the solid oak in those areas to be quite flat already. Plan ahead of time for how many coats of primer and paint, and do a test to see just how well your grain is hidden. You might discover you don't even need to grain fill certain parts of your project. 7. Those who are complaining about how small this tub is... Again, you are only filling the voids and most of the material you are scraping off and putting back in the tub. I ended up doing 35 cabinet doors and only used half a quart. If you have additional questions, call the U.S. manufacturer at the number on the back of the can. A human being quickly answered and was able to give me plenty of pointers.
Review: Worked well filling in grain in oak cabinets. - This is a really good product. I was skeptical that it would fill in the deep wood grain in our oak cabinets, but it worked great. Some areas required a second coat after sanding, but the grain is no longer visible. Used one coat of primer and two coats of paint to finish. We also purchased new cabinet doors and the cabinets look like new!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked well filling in grain in oak cabinets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mix It With Wood Filler For Best Results
*by J***S on August 24, 2025*

By itself, this stuff is good, but not great. It has a creamy pastey texture that dries like paint and fills tiny wood grain crevices really well. However, it shrinks down when it dries. What you end up with is a coat that's not level. It requires multiple coats (up to 6 on oak board) and a lot of sanding to get it level. That's a lot of work for a product that's so pricey. Pro Tip: Mix 1:1 with wood filler like DAP's wood plastic. This gives you the best of both worlds. The Aqua Coat helps the mix go on smooth, fills tiny gaps, and keeps the wood filler moist so it's easier to work with longer. The wood filler doesn't start to crumble like it would by itself. The wood filler gives volume to the mix and resists shrinking. Also, the wood filler is much cheaper and allows the Aqua Coat go further so you don't have to buy as much and you save money. What takes 3 or more coats now only takes 1 or 2.
