    Totally agree. I guess I was just surprised by the degree to which the oil shifted the colour, even though I had anticipated it.

    I use a brush for the first two or three coats, and then once that has kind of soaked in and dried I use a rag to dab another couple of coats on quite thick. Then start the wet sanding with more oil to level it out and pore-fill.


    I think I've given up on timbermate though, and might try a sanding sealer next time. The timbermate has given me pretty mixed results as a grain filler, and I would say 100% fails as a pore filler (which possibly it's not really designed for?). It's possibly operator error, but I have tried it a few times now and just can't seem to get consistent or useful results.


    Wet sanding the TO has given me good results as a pore-filler but it's a lot of work and I'm always stressed I'm going to sand through
