Trying the popular stain trick left my dresser looking bad
I see a lot of finishers say to wipe stain on and off right away. I tried it on a pine dresser last week. The wood ended up with light and dark spots. So I tested on a scrap piece and let the stain sit for five minutes. That gave a much nicer, even color. I think the common advice is not good for pine. From now on, I'm ignoring that tip and doing what works for me.
