FYI, spoke to AquaCoat and they suggest the final coat sit overnight and then sand within a couple hours of painting final coat. If you final sand and then paint a day or two later, you won't have the same adhesion. I have rec'd lots of great info from your channel. Thank you!
I do high-end cab. refinishes and try to use high build pigmented lacquer as much as possible. I had done wood filler way back and found an extra coat or two does the trick. Most clients want to see grain, but not all of it! Glad you can take the time, of course prep is everything... what ever works...
Thank you! You give me the courage to tackle some of these projects myself.
You make this look so easy, Iâm a manicurist and I love to paint đš I will totally remember this technique if I ever need to paint cabinets. đ
Thanks for showing the hard areas. The wide open flat areas are pretty straight forward, but the challenge areas are were the tips are the most helpful
Glad to help
I saw the video, went out on the job, applied the product to oak cabinets, the application process was slow, the result is good.
I like using the vinyl sealer.
Thank you so much. The information you provided was very valuable when I started a project of changing old golden oak cabinets to a nice white updated finish. The only thing I did different was using the 'clear' Aqua Coat. It went on super easy but I wish I had purchased the 'white' Aqua Coat. It would have been much easier to see any grain spots that I may have missed. Lesson learned.
How many coats did you end up using? Did it hide the grain pretty well?
Great video. You just convinced me to apply a second coat of aqua coat wood grain filler. Iâll do this on the cabinet carcass and frames. Iâve ordered shaker style replacement doors and drawer fronts.
Chris your visiting CZcams has taken your videos to the next level. I'll miss all your entertaining mispeaks but the professional editing makes you as good if not better then what one would expect from a T.V. based show.
Thank you for your support
Well I fuked up and painted without wood/ grain filler. Iâm happy I found aqua coat which as u mentioned can be applied after painting then paint it again. I appreciate your input and all your videos keep up the great work!
Can be applied any time Joe
Thank you for the demonstration .. great info
great stuff nice new education set.
Nice job. You are the best
Great stuff used this stuff all the time.
Very informative! Where can I find part 2? Also, do you have a list of all products used? (primer, glaze, lacquer?) Also a step by step readable list would help to! Can't wait to start my cabinet project!
Wood filler for hardwood floors works great also and sometimes takes only on coat depending on how bad the grain on the doors is. You apply it the same way as the aqua coat.
Looks like I'm painting my cabinets nowđ€Ł. Keep up the videos Chris, always good stuff!!!
So helpful. Thank you!
I would love to see part two!
Did you find part 2?
WHERE IS PART 2 ?
Need part 2 as well
Did anyone ever find pt 2
đ”đđ” going to try this, thanks!
Excellent channel! Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing
Finally turned the "Aqua Coat" can at 12:25 to see the spelling ! > Love your videos . Thank you guys !
good job man đđŸ
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm enjoying the video alot
Thanks
Thanks for the in depth video. Love this stuff. I'm interested in the rack that you placed the drying panel on. Did you make it? If so is there a video on that drying rack? If you bought it, where from please?
Best videos ever.
Customer didn't want the grain filled on his oak cabinets I painted. I used the clear Aqua Coat mixed it with a little water and brushed a clear coat on front and back of cabinet doors and cases. Sanded, primed and painted. End result all grain was painted using an HVLP with no grain areas missing paint. Used Sherwin Williams KEM Aqua as the finish coat. Will be checking out Centurion Products very soon.
Thank you very much much
You are welcome
Thanks for the great information! Iâm working on some oak cabinets and this seems like a good filler. With it being water based, can you still use Sherwin Williams - Primer Surfacer (E63)?
God bless!
I do two of problock oil base then two coat IILVA 2K Poly and that is enough to fill the grain.
Thanks I have to try that one looks like a really good method I ordered one of those Sanders this week looking forward to using it thanks for all the tips and tricksïżŒ
Love this video..there is one question..should I use aqua coat before or after priming cabinets?
Thanks for the video. I went got Aqua Coat after tying another since Rockler was out of Aqua Coat. Much easier to use. What would you prime with after Aqua Coat? B-I-N?
Do you recommend using a deglosser? Iâve seen a lot of tutorials with and without
Do you have a link for part 2?
Thank you again!!! Do you do the back of the door ?
Quick tip, scoop some of that material into a drywall mud pan the use you plastic scraper to apply onto the doors.
The directions on the aquacoat label recommend to degloss prior to sanding. I noticed that you didnât do that here, do you think that deglossing is necessary? Also is it necessary to apply a coat of primer prior to spraying your paint color of choice? Iâm using BM Advance for a set of bedroom cabinets. Thanks soo much!!!
You are a true artisan and I've loved your videos. Love seeing how your technique has progressed with improved product and tools. Wish you were in Vegas!
Would you recommend applying a coat of shellac first prior to applying grain filler? I would imagine bonding issues occurring in a kitchen plagued with oils and grease. Having to go back and address all those issues would be a pain. Or have you not had much issues with aqua coat bonding?
Really good question thank you I would have asked the same question
Idaho local... dig watching your work and appreciate the education.
Hi, thank you for video ,can I use this wood filler on existing paint ?
are there any worries with using this water based product over an oil finish? Or any other adhesion problems you may run into?
What do you think about using a deglosser instead of sanding?
What is the brand name of the sander youâre using in this video? Iâm working on oak cabinets right now. Iâm painting them white. Iâm using aqua coat to fill the grain, thank you for that tip. Iâd love to buy a sander like the one youâre using.
Could you use this on a teak table? Is it strong enough or would the surface be dented easily?
Hi! Good morning! I was wondering if you would be able to help me with a question I have. My brother and I have saved up money to get my parentsâ kitchen cabinets refinished and we are really confused on weather to do paint or lacquer on oak. One professional indicated he would only do paint ( InsulX) on oak because lacquer doesnât work well on oak because of grains and it yellows/can crack, and one professional indicated he only does lacquer (Campbell) . Iâm so confused by the paint vs lacquer question, and then specific to oak cabinets..
Didnât really know any better and used drywall mud to fill after a good sanding. Took a long time and was messy, but the result was spectacular. I would not have been happy with a grainy finish and have never regretted spending the time to do it. Itâs been a few years now and itâs holding up well. I did not get by with caulking the panels, though. It has cracked, and Iâm not sure what I should have done instead.
Curious if you live in a dry climate? Iâm planning caulk our panels and do live in a dry climate but am still a bit nervous. Glad your project is holding up well generally!
Dry wall mud works well but you need to thin it to the consistency of thick paint. That will make sanding it back really easy.

Do you ever use a sanding sealer after you use aqua coat and before you paint? Also, do you apply a primer before you paint? I am not spraying the paint on, but need to use a brush and roller. Thank you.
One question. I want to use this product but I planned on using oil based primer and oil based paint. Can I still apply this product, sand it down, then use the oil based primer and paint? Great video. Thank you.
Hello, I've never used Aqua Coat or painted a cabinet before. I'm in the process of doing so, how do I determine how many application of Aqua Coat is needed before priming and painting? Thx,
I'm building some cabinets and the plywood has nicks and dings in it, as a matter of fact there are a lot of them on the plywood. I need to fill them in so the surface is smooth before painting. I just got done applying a primer and it really showed all the imperfections in the plywood. some are not very deep and others around a 1/8" deep. I've tried to use a wood filler but it doesn't it would take so much product. Would this Aqua Coat be the product to use?
I used aqua coat on my grainy cabinets and it worked great!
Im building my home out of picket about to get my cabinets done. And im teying to do all the stuff i can myself to save money, painted the inside, will paint the outside soon (fighting the elements). Want to paint my cabinets but scared of ruining something that expensive or them looking bad when finished.... so im curious how did your project turn out, and 1-10 how difficult would you said it was to spray your cabients?
Would I be able to use the Aqua Coat if I'm using an oil based lacquer for the final finish?
Can you use this before dying the wood? I am using a transtint dye. Alchohol based
I shoot nitro lac over sanding sealer...do you recommend applying AC over sanding sealer...or...apply Ac as a first coat directly to bare wood?
Where is part 2? I can't wait to see it!
did you find part 2?
@@kellyroberts9040 no.... sadly
Can you tell me why no primer is needed after the aqua coat process? I will be applying SW Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel, and need to know if I need primer before the top coat. If so which one?
Thanks
Would this work on full sized doors? We would like to get rid of the grain and paint them smooth
Could I use that on older wood windows that have minor cracking ?
Do you have a link to part two?
Do you think it matters if using an orbital sander for the initial snading or palm sander only (oak boards)
Confirming aqua coat CAN be applied after painting? No issues with bonding?
I have some holidays I need to fix.
Can I stain or oil coat wood after applying Aquacoat? Wondering if Aquacoat would show.
How do you do trim? I have purchased lake home in MI that has a lot of medium oak trim, cupboards and doors. Wanting to do before and after but with the varnish etc, nervous about doing this. It seems like Trim would be more of a challenge. ~KLE
I like your finish sander, what brand is it?
Can this be applied to cabinets without removing the doors?
Iâve love the stuff, two coats seal well with letting just a little grain show through. Stain first if your polycoating, it looks absolutely fabulous.
You shoulda shown the final results with paint.
GreenAppelPie this is part 1 of a 2 part video. I imagine he will show that in the next video
Ned Casey whoops didnât catch that
Just Watched Aqua coat Grain Filler Do you remember back in the 80s Sherwin Williams had a paint grain filler worked great sanded easy what happened to that product
assuming this works for pine cabinets?
Good job where did you buy the soft sanding pad
I can't get Aqua Coat in Canada - do you recommend another comparable product
Is there a part 2? Can't find it.
How many buckets of aquacoat does it take you for a kitchen? Or how many doors per bucket?
Awesome video as always. Quick question - do you recommend Aqua Coat over Sherwood Grain Filler? I see you reviewed that product about 3 years ago.
I have mocha oak cabinets. Itâs the same steps for darker oak cabinets?
Where is part 2? Canât find it?
A customer fell in love with a super shinny product called "Fine Paints of Europe", an oil based exterior coating that was so glossy you could see your reflection in it. Her front door had tons of brushed acrylic paint and plenty of imperfections. The same company that made the paint also sold a product that served as a filler. It was also oil based. The filler worked okay, but that paint was so hard to apply. I just hate spraying oil paints. In hind sight, I should have opted to use an HVLP, but I just didn't have confidence in the only one I had in working order. To get one I thought could handle the job would have set me back about $1,900... and I just didn't have enough in this "paint my front door" job to justify it. I would have lost at least a grand and times were tough at that stage. I had only been in business for about a year. Some areas on that damn door took four coats to get it right..... but it was a thing of beauty when we were done. I ended up sectioning the door off into panels and rails to get it to look right.
I got a great HVLP now. I'd do that kind of work in a heart beat... but I'd price it way higher and use my HVLP. Live and learn.
That paint is the most difficult paint I ever used
@@Idahopainter Yeah, so you know the stuff! The finished look is fantastic... if you can be absolutely perfect in your application.
Great video, but I wish we could have seen the cabinet doors after they were painted.
Does Clear aquacoat still work for white painting cabinet or we have to use White aquacoat?
If you paint the cabinets would you use the Aqua Coat BEFORE applying a primer or AFTER applying the primer?
can I use this product on old stair treads before painting?
Iâm building a red oak keepsake box for my wife. She wants it stained. Can you stain the oak after using the aqua coat and not have blotches?
Where to get the cool sander?
How much do you think I would need to fill around 600ft of 1 1/4 oak moulding?
Question, is it expected to fill the back of the door as well or is it just the face that gets filled?
can you apply grain filler after primer?
Is this necessary if you are spraying lacquer?
Can I use this on an oil based paint? You mentioned this is a water based filler.
Do you fill the grain fill the back side of cabinet doors?
What is the sander you are using
I couldn't understand what you said is the name/type of sander you are using. Can it be connected to vacuum? Thk you. I'm preparing 26 old varnish window trims plus using aqua coat to eliminate most grain because I want smooth paint look. I think I know what steps I need, but I really like that sander you are using. Just couldn't catch the name.
is there any shrinkage over time??
I am sooooo glad that I found this video! Like really, I cannot express how much I appreciate you sharing your expertise without all the bull shit!
⊠However if you were in California I would just hire you!
On a kitchen, do one only Aqua Coat the doors?
Chris, do you ever have clients that either like the wood grain or don't mind it. I like the look of a little oak wood grain. Two coats of primer cover enough wood grain for me. Any comments?
can you use this on trim?
Do you recommend using the grain filler on the back side of each cabinet door and the actual cabinets?
I personally didnât since the doors are closed most the time I still painted it and it looks fine to me
