Thread: Acqua Coat clear woodgrain filler

and what's its aging quality like?
ie how is it after 5 or 10 years?

No idea what it is like in 10 years, but it is used by luthiers and I’d imagine they would expect the finish on their instruments to last.

Arron - I use this on boxes, both on open grain and burr panels. In the tub it looks like a very firm paste. The number of coats depends on the job I guess, but for me it is usually 1 or 2 coats. Sands easily. I’ve not used it on craters but for regular pore filling it works for me.

i wanted a clear pore filler rather than something that would change the character of the timber - so far it has done what it says on the tub - dries clear. I’m using it under shellac, by the way. Don’t know how it plays with other finishes. Hope this helps.
