Aqua Coat Inc.

George Vondriska with Woodworkers Guild of America and Paul Mayer of ToolMetrix performed a chemical resistance test using Aqua Coat waterborne Clear Lacquer and waterborne Aqua Thane. George knows how important woodworking projects are and the finishes that are applied to them. George tested highly acidic products such as lemon juice, grain alcohol, coffee, ketchup, mustard, vinegar and orange juice on our top coats to see they performed. The test George administered is the same one that is done through KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association). After letting most of these acidic products sit for over 24 hours, they were impressed at the chemical resistance results. This experiment showed how Aqua Coat's waterborne finishes are as durable as solvent based and how the finishes held up under pretty extreme conditions.  Watch this video to see this experiment from George Vodriska.

Take a look at one of Aqua Coat's customers who use Aqua Coat's Clear and White Grain Filler. Sacramento Furniture Restoration is a full-service provider of restoration, repair, maintenance, and protection services for wooden furniture. They service residential customers to restore wooden furniture back to its original look and feel. Sacrament Furniture Restoration also services commercial properties such as restaurants, resorts, office buildings, golf courses and hotels where their wood furniture is subjected to harsh treatments. "We use Aqua Coat Clear Grain Filler on most of the dining tables we restore for customers. It really makes the difference in the professional finish. It's easy to apply and works well with our process to achieve better results without adding a whole lot more time or labor to the process. When a distressed buffet came to us with a customer wanting it painted, we tried the White Cabinet Grain Filler. It was perfect to fill the pits and scrapes, giving the final result a smooth finish. We had previously used other products for similar application but Aqua Coat's White Cabinet Grain Filler worked better and is used for painted pieces going forward." We are glad to help Sacramento Furniture Restoration to restore their customer's wooden furniture back to its former glory. #aquacoat #waterbased #ecofriendlyproducts #smoothfinish #nonflammable #lowodor #lowvoc #cleargrainfiller #woodfiller #grainfilling #grainfiller #bestgrainfiller #whitegrainfiller #bestwoodfiller #cabinetfiller #oakfiller #porefiller #tablemakeover #tablerepair #hardwoodtables #woodtables #dresserrefinishing #furniturerestoration #furnituremaking #furniturediy #furniturerepair #antiquefurniture #antiquerestoration #furnituremakeover #sacramentofurniturerestoration

If you are painting grainy wood, using grain filler is important because it smooths out the surface to help attain a glass smooth finish. Aqua Coat found this interesting article from Matt G with Dengarden comparing Aqua Coat White Cabinet Grain Filler to Timbermate's wood filler. He compares the two products and explains why he doesn't recommend Timbermate and went back to using Aqua Coat White Cabinet Grain Filler to finish preparing his oak cabinets for painting. Does Timbermate Have an Odor? Timbermate has a strong odor. Wearing gloves is a must. The odor from this product was so strong it could still be smelled after spraying the primer and stayed on my hands for days after. Aqua Coat is low odor. Does Timbermate Fill the Wood Grain Well? Timbermate did fill most of the grain in one coat, but no better than Aqua Coat. Does Timbermate sand easily? Using a filler that sands easily is important. Timbermate was an absolute nightmare to sand. The sanding made an incredible mess and smelled horrible. Aqua Coat White Cabinet Grain Filler is extremely easy to sand. Is Timbermate worth it? Timbermate is not recommended for a large cabinet painting project. The difficult sanding and terrible odor were the major deal breakers. Went back and used Aqua Coat to finish the remaining cabinet doors. In this article, Matt recommends using Aqua Coat White Cabinet Grain Filler instead of Timbermate. He said the Aqua Coat Grain Filler is better than the original clear version when painting, but the benefit of the Clear Grain Filler is you can use it for staining and clear topcoat projects.

We have exciting news at Aqua Coat! Aqua Coat Grain Fillers are now available in Menards stores. Aqua Coat's small particle size fillers are an easy to apply gel that you use to fill the pores and grains on hard to fill woods to help achieve a glass smooth finish. The grain fillers can be tinted to add depth to the grains and pores of your project. Aqua Coat Grain Fillers are easy to apply, dries fast, sands easily and are water clean up. Aqua Coat Clear Grain Filler penetrates and seals the pores minimizing the absorption of your CLEAR topcoats, achieving a smooth, clear finish. Aqua Coat White Cabinet Grain Filler penetrates and seals the pores minimizing the absorption of your PRIMER AND PAINT helping to achieve a glass smooth finish. If painting, we recommend the white grain filler because it has higher solids with better visibility and adhesion making it perform better in less coats.
