Pianolac vs Enduro related q

[Farrell]

Yes I have used the transparent grain filler from Enduro. It dries
absolutely clear. I even put some on an ebony job after one coat of black.
It dried perfectly clear. Regarding colorings, you can put stain in the
filler if you desire a tint, although I have not tried that.
