My mistake with a damp rag changed how I handle stain between coats

I used to wipe excess stain quickly, but a streaky finish on a pine bench showed me the importance of waiting.

Try testing your rag dampness on a hidden spot first. A slightly drier rag gives you way more control over how much stain it soaks up.

The drier rag thing actually makes sense now.

Wait you test it where?
