  • EASY TO USE- Work the Clear Grain Filler generously into open wood grain and pores against the grain with a small squeegee, bondo blade, old credit card, or fingers with a glove. 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. 2-3 coats are recommended.
  • LONG LASTING- A little goes a long way. You can use one quart to do 2 coats on a medium sized kitchen (30-40) drawers and doors, or one pint to use on 5-6 guitars.

Yes I'm a novice painter. I've done a few rooms in my home. The garage has been the largest project so far (just finished the walls which needed quite a bit of spackling and re-taping). I'll look at that solution you suggested and let you know if I have any questions. I appreciate the response, thanks!

edit

ok i looked at this on Amazon and read the popular reviews (link: https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-261845-EpoxyShield-Garage-Coating/dp/B006ZUZ9QE). One question I still have is the power washing. Should I tape plastic drop cloths to the walls so I don't ruin them with the power washer? I can't see how I could possibly power wash inside the garage without soaking the drywall. Also, i have a water filter in the garage with a boot that sits on the floor. Removing this thing is not trivial. I need a plumber if I were to do that. Would I be able to go around it knowing that one spot on the floor will be old/unfinished? I may be able to put a neat square around it or something. What would you recommend for something like that?

The rest seems pretty straight forward (thought a lot of work) based on the first reviewers instructions. I think I can tackle this when the weather warms up.

My only concern is that the negative reviews say this stuff tends to come up after a few months, especially if tires go on it. Have you had any experience with this? Do you know why this might be happening for them?

Oak grain filler for cabinets. People use this but there are others available too. The best thing to do is test your process on one or two doors first and see if your system works. Cabinets are all about the prep work. Good luck!

I carry mine in a plastic bread bag, haha. It happens to be a good size for 2-4 brushes on the go. I’ve always thought about a tool roll type thing though. Or similar to a chefs knife roll. Carhartt makes a tool roll

Thank you much for this advice. I am reading him all these comments. I hadn't known about skin injection. That doesn't not sound good.

Hey, would skin injection be a problem with a sprayer like this? This isn't a high pressure sprayer right?

You could try using something like a deglosser, but I'd be wary of the finish you would end up with. And there is always the potential of damaging the fabric.

The paint is fully cured, right?
