Stain came out splotchy. Any ideas how to fix this?
I’m current remodeling our stairs using poplar newel posts, railing, and shoe wall(?). I sanded using 220 grit and applied a pre-stain conditioner since I’ve heard that poplar can be splotchy. I applied oil-based minwax stain with a rag. Didn’t really come out too great. I’ve never had this issue before. Anyone have any recommendations to make this look better?
