Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2012 Season
#41

I used to use the Behlen oil based filler in the neutral and would dye it my self. A few months ago I purchased a can of Behlen walnut tinted oil based filler. After the first use, I decided that it was too dark, so, I ordered another can of the neutral and started mixing the two. I'm still not happy with that, so I may go back to tinting the neutral myself. This is what has started me thinking about the water based filler.

Ron, If the wood has been sealed before you filled the grain, you may be able to stain the filler to darken it. I'm thinking, the sealed wood won't take the stain but the filler would. I would certainly test on a scrap piece first though.
