Great thread here..! I also learned from that thread you linked. One thing he doesn't clarify well.. the pore-o-pac really needs to be thinned before you use it. In the can, it has the consistency of peanut butter.. you need to use mineral spirits and make it like paint. The first time I tried to grain fill, I didn't realize this and I couldn't understand why it wouldn't work. Be sure to cut it, or you will find your grain is not filled.
