I did have it mixed up with grain filler,that is what I was talking about.  I am only sanding enough to remove the old finish . My confusion was whether to
apply grain filler, or sanding sealer, or just shellac mixed 50-50 with DN  alcohol.  I also have Mohawk dye based lacquer and pigment based lacquer. I want the
beautiful grain lines to really show especially on the zebra wood strips.
    Thanks for your input.
