OK, I see that I did now. As for mixing wood filler and grain filler - this is just a matter of me being more clear about what I did. There were some dings that I filled with wood filler. Dried and sanded. Then I smeared grain filler over the entire thing. I let it set up a little and then scraped. I did not rub with cloth after another few minutes - this is where I went wrong.

So, now that I already have toner on it, is there any problem if I smear on some more grain filler, scrape, rub and then hit it again with a light coat of toner?
