I guess that you could probably get rid of the linseed oil residue with lacquer thinner if it still looks too dark. I've read about making filler out of linseed oil and pumice in a Fine Woodworking book I bought years ago but never had a chance to try it. I did pick up some small milk carton sized boxes of pumice and rotten stone from a liquidation store a few years ago to use for things like this, or rubbing a finish out, they were $.50 each or something since they are not exactly in high demand. Is there any word on the woodworking forums about this home made filler being incompatible with lacquer or anything? I would guess that's it's fine since the Beilens filler is also oil based.
