I've switched to Constantine's. I like it a lot better than the Pore-O-Pac. I tried some Behlen's water based grain filler and hated it. I do not recommend a water based filler at all. It dries fast, and it's hard as a rock. I had a heck of a time removing the excess filler. According to the instructions (and video) you are supposed to allow it to dry anyway, so drying time really isn't the issue. It's the fact that the dried excess is so hard to remove. I sanded on it forever to get it all off. It had a chalky white appearance in the grain too, and I wasn't happy with that.
The Constantine's is good stuff. No complaints. I did have to wait about a month to get it, because it was on backorder.
