Guys I got my supplies from Mohawk and have begun the process on my 40-158 cabinet. I have it sanded and sealed and tomorrow I plan to do the grain filler. I have not opened the can yet, so I'm not sure of the consistency, however I did not know it required a specific thinner from Mohawk if required. They call it Grain Filler Solvent M608-106 and I don't have any. Is there something I can purchase locally to mix with it to thin it if required? Paint thinner, lacquer thinner, etc.? I don't know what the base is. Is anyone using this filler using anything other than the Mohawk Grain Filler Solvent? Thanks!
