Isn't that kind of redundant? Isn't the sanding sealer meant to fill the grain? So why use the Timbermate as well?Also want to see how it goes on Ash and flame maple after grain filling/popping with timbermate and before tru oil.
In your experimenting, maybe do a test to see if the FW SS can be tinted with Prooftint. What's the worst that could happen???

This post was from a while back now. I used it after timber mate to kind of lock it into the grain. So the timber mate didn't sand out as such, only the sealer on top. And with staining (proof tint) I tried multiple combinations of the order of sanding, timber mate (for popping contrast), sanding sealer and stain on scrap veneer first.Originally Posted by McCreed

You've really just got to experiment with what your trying to achieve on different woods.
To answer your question directly McCreed, Timber mate was used to pop the grain.
