OK this sounds understandable. Now, how about the difference between a sanding sealer and something else like ... say ... shellac. I have been told that a coat of shellac will even out how wood takes stain. Do you find this to be the case? If so, what about when grain filler is used? Does that change anything? Also, do water based filler take stain as well as other filler types? My experience with Rockler water based filler is that it doesn't take stain very well. The color contrast was too great for my liking.
