I did not realize until after the fact that I should have used the toner lacquer. I think that the cabinet top would have looked even more original, and probably would have gone right over any spots. The filler I used was a name brand, although I don't recall exactly what, as I pitched it after seeing the results. I finally was able to get it on using the 50+ year old stain, and a little emulsification of other ancient "ointments" from the reliquary.
