Guess I should clarify - the advice I've read (Newell and others) is not to wet sand but brush on varnish to fill grain with just resin. No filler. Somewhere along the line I read it's ok to wet sand after the first coat as the "dust" is just resin. Thought is the fillers make the finish look muddy. Does to me. Never hurts to do a practice piece and make up your own mind on what works and looks good to you.
Yes, I got that. I should have been clearer. I wet sanded the tung oil to create a grain filling "dough" from the oil and bits of saw dust. And yes I intend to use spar varnish and sans when dry on my next stock. I do believe both techniques have been used to success. Thanks again.
