Did you use a sealer first?
Paul a bit confused your two posts on this subject appear to contradict each other.
Look at it this way - if you are applying a grain filler whether it's wax, paint or anything else the objective is to colour the pores in the wood but not the rest of the surface so you would use a sealer which would allow the excess filler to be removed from the surface without colouring it

I started this thread though because in a video I saw recently Black grain filler was applied directly to bare wood. The effect seemed much better than usual. I suspect because using sealer first actually fills some of the grain before the filler can get in. Wiping off the excess filler didn’t seem to cause any problems and I couldn’t see any “staining”, just nicely filled pores.
