I contacted the maker of royal laq and asked about adhesion issues, and his response was that the only thing to be careful of is that the seal laq isn't sanded through, so that it is a barrier between any ca glue and the royal laq.
so i'm thinking the process would be... CA glue rubbed in / spread. dry time and sand smooth.
If the pores are filled move to seal laq.
My concern is : will the ca shrink? or will it rip underneath the top coats? Now, the other thought is to sand down to the wood so that the ca isn't covering the surface, only the pores..

imo that's how fillers work. It's what I always do anyway. CA will work but it's pretty nasty stuff. They do make a CA that is not so harsh on the eyes and lungs but still, do it outside or under a hood and wear a mask.
