I cannot seem to manage to find a Canadian supplier of Mohawk toner finish.

So I started to look about getting it online. Mohawk won't ship to Canada. Or at least their website won't permit it.

Are there other good suppliers I could rely on?

I also need to ask about grain filler... do I need to use it? How does it work? I am stripping the radio, it had a nice finish, do I need to fill the grain before toning & finishing? What would be the difference?

I guess I will need some when I add veneer on the radio's shoulder top for sure. Are there lots of difference in grain fillers? there are 3-4 brands locally at the hardware store.

Also... in another thread, you mentionned I need medium wallnut toner, and perfect brown toning lacquer, if I am to make a similar finish to what was factory made.

RadioDaze has this medium brown wallnut

and that perfect brown one

Are those good? I'd be ordering soon if I want to have time before the cold hits and the radio ends up in storage all winter.
