Sat, Oct 22, 2005, 2:07pm [email protected] (rasberry) who doth ask:
When using MinWax water based stains which of the following sequence of
prep steps would you recommend?
1) finish snading, waterbased prestain application, finish sanding then
stain
OR
2) waterbased prestain application, finish sanding then stain
If I was that unsure, I'd opt for #3 - call the 1-800 number that's
sure to be on the can somewhere, and ask MinWax.
Or, you could always get a couple of pieces of scap wood, try both
ways, and not ask anyone.

If it ain't broke, don't lend it.

I did 1...worked fine..make sure the prestain treatment does not dry before
you actually put on the stain..

One situation with waterbased stuff is that it raised some fuzz from the
wood. You might think about simply coating the wood with a bit of water
(now this assumes you are finishing soft wood (e.g.pine, fir,
jummywood)), letting it dry, and sanding with something up to 220 grit.
Next apply the conditioner and follow the instructions on the can.
