The LOML has ordered a kit (cabinet) for me to assemble. I chose to assemble the kit rather than buy the plans and machine all the pieces. The material will be hard maple.
Anyway, we have chosen to use dye stain rather than a pigmented wiping stain because from what I have read maple is difficult to stain. I have also read that maple can be blotchy. This being said should I use something like Charles Neil Blotch Control on the maple prior to applying the dye stain? We have not settled on brand of dye stain, Behlen, General Finishes, TransTint all could end up being what is settled on all depending on the color meeting her expectations.
Thanks
