Clowe Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 My husband and I recently stripped and restrained this dining room table. We use CitiStrip I think it's called to remove old stain, then sanded some. I have no idea what numbers we used sandpaper wise, We are NOT wood workers...this was our very first time trying. I feel the legs and table extensions took the new stain well, but the table top is blotchy and uneven. I have read so many forums and blogs my head hurts! I really want to fix this table, it has sentimental value. Can I just re sand and start again? Will re sanding cause the wood to just not take stain again? We did use a conditioner before applying the stain. I believe the wood is pine...but maybe not? It doesn't really have any knots...not sure if all pine does. Anyhow...could anyone offer advice in lay men's terms? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clowe Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 So, maybe that was another mistake? I don't need to wait hours for stain to dry before I apply another coat? Lol. Thanks again for the help! I will post another picture after attempt number two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
