    Colortone filler arrived, have never used this product before so after reading instructions I am wondering do I apply stain before applying filler or can staining be done after filler is dry and sanded?

    Cheers

    I just saw a large discussion re staining and filler on this forum seems it’s possible to do either but with different results
    Any thoughts team?

    I have never used this filler before. I have used only used Timbermate - and it will take stain after, sometimes too well. Definitely test on scrap wood first with the stain you intend to use!

    I have had a lot of trouble trying to stain after using some oil-based sanding sealers!
