    Oooh - no, I didn't. Does sanding back dig out some of the grain?

    If you were sanding with a grit like P240 or coarser in an effort to remove stained timber, that aggregate would also be larger enough to remove grain filler IMO.

    That makes a lot of sense.

    Well that is definitely a lesson learned because when I went to wet sand my acrylic top coat, the sanded material settled into the grain and then I had to find a way to get that out. Cutting compound wouldn't do it but more wet sanding compounded the problem. In the end i tried a little acetone but in my enthusiasm i burnt through a small patch.

    Many of the swear words were said....
