I had read that thread previously and thought that the product had simply been applied incorrectly. I may as well sand back the sealer and apply more filler as I have the stuff and it went on without difficulty the first time. I'm very glad I didn't jump in and start finishing my guitar first...

I'll post some in process pics too.

You need to get some compatible thinner so it flows into the pores -- think about it -- jamming it on to the surface like window caulk is very, very bad advice. Anyone can say anything -- and they will.
