"The Natural Filler is formulated to dry translucent and fill the grain without adding any color. Under some finishes it may show as a whitish color so test it on darker woods like walnut and mahogany."
Yes, I have some of this effect on a couple of Fender AV 52 FSR 60th Anniversary "Inlays" where the grain filler is a sort of a Mary Kay-ish translucent color against the natural ash color. I haven't had that issue on any of mine, as it seems the grain filler melts back into the pores when I put on more clear dewaxed shellac over top. I'm gonna do my next grain fills with even more reducer for better flow into the pores.
