40-158 Veneer question- Updated-Finished!
#10

>1. Do I need to sand the sanding sealer prior to applying the grain filler, if yes what grit is proper?

I do but I don't know that it's absolutely necessary. I generally go with abt 3 coats of ss before sanding. As for grit something between 320-600 works for me.

>2. Once the filler is finished (applied, removed and clean) do I spray it with sanding sealer again or go ahead and apply my toner right over the grain filler (once it is cured)?

I tend to use a lot of ss and would give it a coat before toning. It will give you some perspective as to how well the grain filler filled and if you need to go over it again.

>3. Once I have the toner the way I want it, do I go ahead and spray the first coat of clear over the whole works and then do a wet sand followed up by any additional coats of clear?

I would give it several coats of clear before wet sanding if not it's pretty easy to sand thru the clear and into the toner. Would also block sand where possible it will give you a nice flat (level) surface.

>4. Is there a estimated tack time between the toner coat and the clear lacquer coats. I realize temp and humidity will play into it, but I'm planning to wait for a perfect day to do the actual finish. 

Well your looking for a day that is above 60 deg and below 60% humidity, just in case have your no blush handy. The lacquer dries pretty quick I'd say abt 1/2 hour to respray or handle. If it has several coats of clear on it I'd wait overnight before wet sanding. For buffing a month for a full cure.

Hope this answers your questions
