Two completely different products. The sanding sealer should be used on unfinished wood to seal the fibers for a smoother finish. This product looks like wax or vaseline, it fills the grain and becomes solid over time. Hope this helps.
Also wondering about your opinion on whether to take down the cabinet itself to strip paint or if you'd somehow leave them up to strip them while still on the wall
Glad you found the video helpful. I would leave the cabinets on the wall and strip them that way. I have to say I’ve had bad experiences with stripping paint so I’d be curious to know how yours turn out.
I’ve had mixed experiences with primer and found out that if you’re using good paint and the cabinets are sanded/unfinished, you will be fine without primer. It’s all about the prep work. It will take you hours to prep and a fraction of the time to actually paint, so be patient. There is no harm in using primer, if you feel the surfaces are not rough enough to accept the paint. As for the grain filler, I also have mixed feelings about it. Like I said, 3 coats would be better. I am experimenting with joint compound as a grain filler and I will be making a video on that too. My plan is to dilute the compound, so it self levels and fills all the grain. It will have to be painted right away of course. Good luck

Also thank you for these awesome instructional videos.
Glad you like them!
How did you feel this did versus the Minwax Sanding Sealer?

So no primer needed here? I'm stripping our oak cabinets now + plan to use the grain filler. Though I will be using Sherwin Williams cabinet paint.
