Many soft or porous woods, like pine, fir, spruce (soft) and maple, alder and aspen (porous) have a tendency to absorb stain unevenly. Minwax® makes two Pre-Stain Wood Conditioners - one for use prior to applying water-based stains, and the other for use prior to applying oil-based stains. This will help you obtain an even stain color and reduce blotchiness, even on woods that are prone to blotching, such as pine or aspen. If you plan to stain, apply a Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner. Once sanding is done, remove all sanding dust. Sand in the direction of the wood’s grain.
Once the repairs are done, sand to obtain a smooth, uniform surface.
Minwax® makes products that can help in this process. Repair any cracks, gouges, nail holes and other defects. If you plan to stain, the surface must usually be completely free of old finishes. Before you start a refinishing or finishing project, be sure that the wood’s surface is dry and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax, grease, polish, dirt or other foreign matter. Prepare consists of getting the wood surface ready for stain and finish application, and includes wood conditioning.
