I recently stained an oak sleigh bed with a dark coloured Minwax stain. The stain didn't go as dark as I would have liked. I noticed the stain isn't like the water based products that I've used in the past. Instead of soaking deep into the wood and drying with a flat finish the Minwax product seems to leave a shiny coat on the surface of the wood.

I want to restain it with a darker stain and I would prefer not to use a Minwax product again, instead I would like to use a water based stain from General Finishes that I've used in the past.

Will I have to strip the Minwax finish from the bed in order to do this? What should I use to do that?
Thanks,
