I am in the process of finishing my 2nd project so its still new to me, trying to learn what I can and can't do to make it look its best. I had a board thats around 40" long and I stained half of it then wiped it off, then I had to go take care of something so when I stained the other half and I can see the middle where they overlap is darker.
questions:
1.)I am assuming that you should try to stain the whole board whatever the length before wiping, is this correct?
2.)Is there any way to combat this darkness that occurs where I have started and stopped.
Thanks for any tips.
(p.s. I am using a water based stain)
