March 18, 201511 yr I received the Aqua Coat product today and tinkered with it some. Aqau Coat is a semi clear gel and not much of an odor.I did NOT prep it as I normally would do. I left it a bit rough and sanded with 220 only. The left side I applied Hut Crystal Coat, my normal choice. On the right I applied the Acqua Coat as per instructions. It looks good to me and did fill the grain holes. However I am not ready to commit fully until I test more woods. Another thing I liked was that after it has dried I applied the Hut on top of it and it did a great job. Tomorrow I am going to do some soft wood. The piece pictured is about 2.5 inches long and is made of Oak.
March 18, 201511 yr Looks like this has some great possibilities, Ron! I use the Hut PPP waxes but haven't tried their Crystal Coat. Looking forward to seeing your additional tests!
March 18, 201511 yr Author I like this stuff. I did not try it on a flat surface, only small lathe turnings. It did fill pores and cracks. It covered well and dries in about half hour. One thing I liked most was that I could use any of my final finishes on top of it. The piece pictured below shows the glassy finish I was able to achieve by using the aqua filler and then going to my usual products to proceed to finish.
