How do i apply material

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).

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?

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.

I have old polyurethaned oak cabinets. Do I clean, sand prime cabinets first then apply aqua coat or is the process reversed?

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.

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.

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.
