How long do you wait until you start scraping? I tried it again this afternoon, and found 20 minutes wasn't long enough. An hour wasn't long enough. 1-1/2 hours was questionable. The filler did a better job getting the pores filled this time around, but still not 100%.
I got the stuff mixed and thinned properly this time, I am sure. From your description and from what Exray has told me, the consistency of mine this afternoon matched what you have described after I thinned it and stirred, stirred, stirred.
I used a brush instead of a rag this time, swirling the filler around into the pores as I applied it, then brushing against the grain. I scraped it off with an old credit card, scraping at an angle (more against the grain than with it).
