User questions & answers

Question:	do i have to mix the entire container at once

User questions & answers

Question:	I have old polyurethaned oak cabinets. Do I clean, sand prime cabinets first then apply aqua coat or is the process reversed
Answer:	The most successful process for refinishing your cabinets with Aqua Coat Grain Filler would be as follows. 1 We highly recommend you do this process completely to the end on the back of a drawer to help you assure success. 2 Sand with 220 grit sand paper. Wipe down with a dampwater paper towel or old t-shirt. Do not use tack rags. they contain oils or wax 3 De gloss 4 On your sample drawer back, apply 2 coats of Aqua Coat Grain Filler with a credit card. bondo blade, rag for curves. Lightly sanding with a 320-400 grit paper in between coats. You are not sanding it down, you are not sanding it off, the only reason you sand is to form a better bond between coats. Only sand immediately before applying the next coat. 5 for testing purposes On half of this drawer back apply a third coat. When you have completely gone through the testing process you will be able to decide if you need 2 or 3 coats. Lightly sand 3rd coat with 320-400 immediately before applying primer. 6 Apply 2 coats of a high build primer water based, oil based, solvent based 7 Apply 2 coats of a quality paint. water based. oil based, solvent based To save an immense amount of time we highly recommend going completely through the testing process to see if you need 2 coats or 3 and have confidence in your process.
Question:	Have you had any problems when filling in deeper gouges or chip out? I have used another product and it left the areas white when it dried
Answer:	If you left areas white then you applied it to thick. It is a pore and grain filler. Not a deep gouge filler. If you would like to touch up deeper indentations add a little sawdust from the piece you are working on to the grain filler.
Question:	How do i apply material
Answer:	I've used this on several guitars (including mahogany, spruce, padauk, bubinga). After sanding, I apply any stain I might want. Usually, I just use Minwax natural to add depth with not much color. I follow that with a coat of Zinsser Wax Free Seal Coat, diluted 50:50 with denatured alcohol. After a light sanding I do 2 or 3 coats of Aquacoat, using either a motel keycard as a spatula or just rub it in while wearing nitrile gloves, making sure to wipe off the excess to minimizing sanding. After it's dry, I lightly sand it, looking carefully for any spots that had build up, and finish it off with a dozen plus light coats of aerosol Deft Lacquer (gloss of your choice).
Question:	If this has a jello consistency, how will it stay in place when applying it to my upper cabinet frames? Won't it run off a bit
Answer:	Yeah, it will stay in place in a vertical application. Even upside down. It's way thicker than Jello. More like vasoline once spread. Once any stain or sealer is applied, I add a coat of gloss finish. Then, you can really see the pores or tear out your trying to fill. Add a the aquacoat, let it dry (20 minutes or so), sand, and repeat a few times. Then, proceed with finishing. Works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	Which sandpaper grit should I use to smooth it out
Answer:	I used this to fill in holes caused by woodpeckers. I believe last summer I used a medium fine grit. Doesn't take much to smooth it out.
Question:	Why is mine so watery
Answer:	Did u "work" the tube (with lid on work up & down because sometimes it separates a little from sitting). If that doesn't work then return it for new 1. Should be kind of a thick toothpaste consistency.
Question:	Can this be used under acrylic paints
Answer:	I use latex paint over so why not acrylic too
Question:	I am looking to fix the door hinges of a ikea pax wardrobe with a stripped the screw hole. doors are heavy and can i apply this and screw it after
Answer:	Use glue and a wooden matchstick. Put wood glue in the stripped hole. Insert the matchstick and let dry. Cut the matchstick flush with the surface and drill a new hole. Larger holes use multiple matchsticks or slivers of wood

Question:	Could I use this to fill in a screw hole that is too big and rescrew in that area

User questions & answers

Question:	I know that paint will bond to this but will it bond to paint? Can I apply it to a crack in a painted surface or do I have to remove the paint first
Answer:	Not sure. I would test a small area first, then try to use it. Let it dry then try to lightly pry it away from the paint. If it feels like its bonding, then try to finish the project.
Question:	Can this be used to fill gouges and dents in hardwood floors
Answer:	No, that wouldn't be a good idea at all! It might work ok on a stationary wooden item, but not something that is trafficked like a hardwood floor!!
Question:	Would this work to fill in a quarter inch space around replaced wood in a subfloor
Answer:	Instead use a cement based filler. For a small repairs use a premixed cement base crack filler like Henry Premixed Patch n' Level.
Question:	My cat scratched the top of a cabinet door and put some really good nicks in it. Will this make it look like the scratches never happened
Answer:	It would depend on what it's made out of/how it's finished. If it's stained wood, then, no, you'd need a stainable wood filler (this one isn't stainable). You could paint over this wood filler and it would look pretty good, however, after you'd sanded it down and everything. If the nicks aren't too deep, though, a touch up pen is your best bet. If they are deeper and your cabinets are wood and painted, this will work. If they're deeper but the cabinets are wood and stained, a product such as this would be more what you're looking for: http://www.amazon.com/Elmers-E887Q-Stainable-Filler-3-25-Ounce/dp/B001T4YU7K

User questions & answers

Question:	If you can reconstitute this product with water, then doesn't that mean the repair applied to your job cannot be cleaned with water
Answer:	If you repair, stain/paint and seal the wood, as a *good* repair SHOULD be done, then there should be no problem. If the product in the jar is a bit dry and one adds water to reconstitute, it’s not the same as if one has filled gouges or cracks... let the product dry and cure... THEN cleaned with water. Fillers are a different creature once they cure; especially if painted/stained/sealed. There’s a big difference between the two circumstances.
Question:	Can you use this to fill in permanent gaps between my old school farm house wood boards on floor
Answer:	It's a putty for small projects like fixing a chip, or grain filling the surface of wood before a finish. It's not a building material. has no structural properties.
Question:	Does this dry hard and is it sandable
Answer:	Yes, and yes. It dries very hard and is easily sanded.
Question:	what material are these made from
Answer:	It's made from calcium carbonate and assorted binders.

FAQs

Q: Do I need to match the filler to the color of the wood if I plan to stain the wood?

A: GoodFilla is designed to accept stain similarly to wood. However, the stain needs to be darker than the filler. If you are using a light stain, match the filler to the color of the wood.

Q: How do I make a custom color with the base/neutral?

A: A liquid or powdered universal tint or dye is ideal. You can also use paints, food dyes, or stains to tint the filler to your desired color. Results will vary depending on the pigment load. Always test by applying the final finish over the dried filler.

Q: Can you use the filler outside?

A: Yes. Mix with a water-based weather-proof glue. For extra protection, be sure the area is coated/sealed with a clear coat.

Q: Can I mix wood flour into the filler?

A: Yes. Test the results and color by applying finish to the dry, sanded filler.

Product description

A totally unique, quick drying, water based grain filler and wood putty accepts stain beautifully or can be tinted. Never goes bad Easy to apply and clean up No shrinking, cracking or falling out. Does not become permanent until you apply a finish. If youre ever unhappy with the way it looks, the color, etc. – just water it down and remove it. If it freezes, simply put it in the microwave to warm it up or if it dries out, just stir in water. This allows for zero waste! This might just be the perfect wood filler.

If this happens, simply add water and remove it, or wait for it to dry and sand it off.

• Timbermate is versatile and may be used for all interior repairs, including repairing edges.
• Fast drying
• When you’re done with your repair, scoop it up and put it back in the bucket.
• Timbermate protects wood and doesn’t harm it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to repair separated boards
Answer:	It depends on what you mean by repair.I have used this filler to fill joins on baseboards, cladding, moulding etc and it is brilliant. I do not think it would work as an adhesive.
Question:	Does the red oak come in larger quantities
Answer:	This is the only size that we carry. Other vendors may have quarts or gallons.
Question:	Will this work on wood turnings
Answer:	Yes, with adequate drying time (overnight)
Question:	Will this match/stain with origininal wood(red oak
Answer:	This does not perfectly match the wood color. It is close enough that you can touch it up with the stain you use to match.

Question:	Ok...but i had to ask...any idea about how many "average" screw holes could be filled w/this? i need enough to fill 8 holes. many thanks & take care
Answer:	I used it to fill 32 screw/nail holes today and still have prolly half the bottle left. This stuff is awesome!
Question:	Will this kit actually fill in a hole in the drywall or just cover it up
Answer:	It comes with what any painter would use..it has a small screen to cover the hole, and the patch to cover that..you lay it on and then use the given sand block...we had a hole about 2.5 inches, and now that the wall is painted, you can't even tell where it was, even up close. THE great thing about this kit is that the spackle is laced with primer too, so no extra step when all layers have cured, just paint then, no primer needed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could this be used to fill a crack in a table. It's the whole length of the table and wide enough for water to spill to the ground through it
Answer:	I would use a good wood putty that is not porous in place of this.
Question:	would this fix nail holes that are striped where hidges hold door? does it dry hard
Answer:	Yes, if you do it right. Any good wood glue or wood filler can be put in a stripped wood screw hole, and the screw pushed into the wet filler, but be careful -- once the filler sets up, you won't be able to tighten or remove the screw. Add a toothpick or 2 if the hole is really loose, just so the screw will stay in place while drying.
Question:	Can this be used on top of chalk paint
Answer:	This product is used to repair interior wood holes and gouges. Loose paint and wood chunks should be removed before application.
Question:	Can it be used to fill cracks or holes in the fresh wood stump
Answer:	This wood filler is designed for filling holes and gouges in wood. Note that it is non-structural, so it should not be subject to critical stress.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a recommended temperature range for applying this product
Answer:	Yes ideally you want to apply where your temp is 72 degrees and 50% humidity. You can apply it between 65 -85 degrees. Any thing outside of that will affect dry and cure time.
Question:	Can I let the final Aqua coat layer stand two weeks before painting
Answer:	Yes you can let it dry for an unlimited time before applying primer and paint. Just make sure you lightly sand with 320 right before you start applying your primer.
Question:	what if the cabinets have already been painted? Should I sand them all the way down Or will a light sanding work
Answer:	If you have previously painted your cabinets you will need to let them fully cure [as per the manufacturers guidelines]. Not dry but cure. At that point you will lightly scuff sand with 220 to give it some tooth so the grain filler has something to stick to. After scuff sanding you can blow off the dust or use a cotton rag. Do not use tack cloths as they have oils and waxes in them and will repel the grain filler. Then apply 1-2 coats of grain filler. 1 coat of primer and 1-2 coats of paint. Always try your complete planned processes on the front of a drawer first.
Question:	Can I use this on old cabinets installed in 1972? Also, can I use it on the inside of the cabinet or is it just for the outer doors
Answer:	Yes. Inside or outer surface, wherever you have wood grain that you want to make smooth. I used Aqua Coat on the outside of oak cabinets and both sides of the doors and drawer fronts. The outside of the doors needed 3 coats with light sanding (220) between coats. It was labor intensive for the 22 cabinets I painted but well worth the time and effort.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Work the White Grain Filler generously into open wood grain and pores against the grain with a small squeegee, bond blade, old credit card, or fingers with a glove. Filler may also be applied with a cotton rag or a soft cloth in a circular motion. Scrape off excess with a squeegee, bondo blade, or an old credit card with the grain. Let dry 45-60 minutes. VERY lightly sand with a 320 or higher grit sandpaper or a fine scotchbrite sanding pad immediately before your next application of grain filler and your first coat of paint. The only reason you are sanding is for adhesion purposes. 2-3 coats are recommended. Follow with 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone have success filling chips on hard wood floors and success staining this stuff
Answer:	I've done it successfully several times. I've had to mix a little wood glue with the filler each time and make more than one application since there is shrinkage as the mixture drys. Then I've roughed it up a bit with fine sandpaper and applied stain or varnish stain. Takes some care and practice.
Question:	Why isn't the color of the filler marked on the package??? Very not friendly!!! Color is everything with filler
Answer:	It's a WOOD filler. You paint or stain afterward.
Question:	Could it be used to fill in shower grout lines and Rust-Oleum used to refinish without grout lines
Answer:	We do not recommend using this product to fill in shower grout lines. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Question:	Is this product dry powder or premixed
Answer:	Hello, this was premixed and not just dry powder. As a "do it yourself senior of 87 (!)", I found it really excellent for what I needed for 2 medium sized jobs. It filled the holes and dried nicely. I bought it originally on a recommendation of a local timber yard and then bought another box from Amazon. If you do not use it all at once I found it useful to push it down off the sides of the box, and cover it with a bit of plastic very loosely on the top of the mixture, hardly touching. June.
