As no-one replied to your original post I don't know if you have since proceeded with your refinish job or not, but...I have never used Master's Magic or Behlens, only Mohawk. I would like to try the other products. I have heard no negative remarks about either product.

I can say that I have had problems with Mohawk Ultra-Flo - serious enough that it required re-stripping and re-lacquering using a different product.

The common method of filling pores is, I believe, either using grain filler, sanding then toning; or else many, many coats of lacquer, sanding between coats. You want to apply your toners before your clear coats, though.
