Spray a couple of coats of sanding sealer followed by the grain filler. Now, sand the filler. Next, spray about three coats of clear, allow to dry for a day or so and sand lightly. Follow this with one more coat of clear. If the finish is smooth and to your liking, you can start with your toner. Do not sand the toned coats, if you do you, you will not have an even darkness. Finally finish off with a couple more coats of clear.
