I like to start over when mistakes are made. If I took some time to try and fix runs and uneven coating then sand through it by accident I would be really mad so I just strip and start over... I want it uniform and it was not.. I think I have the colors you mention but the 3015 walnut oak toner has red in it. I dont really see red in the original job. The 7020 walnut has no red...
I will just test them and strip if necessary.. Wood is forgiving...Thankfully, Icon_lol

Thanks for the help Ron.
