I've got this problem that is making me pull my hair out. I have to stain and clearcoat these 2.5" wood spheres and no matter what I do, each one comes out with a thin band of unstainable wood.
The balls on the right were sanded, stained and poly'd
The balls on the left were sanded then coated with Minwax 13407 then stained. Nothing seems to remove this band around the ball.
Any suggestions?
