I'm planning to try the new target EM6000. Does anyone have experience with using these two Target products as a sealer and grain filler?

HSF5100 Grain Filler & Glaze

If the grain filler is the same as SM Colortone, I would not recommend it based on my experience. Seems to take many,many, many applications to fill grain. There are better alternatives.

Rich, do you have reason to believe they are the same?

Mark, I should add that I DO like Colortone (Target) Sealer and Top Coat lacquer.

Yes I know that, but Mustang it on another post is having issues using waterbased shellac with EM6000. I thought he might want to take a look at it.
