I began staining this past weekend and ran into a problem. See the pictures below.
None of my test pieces [scrap from same board] came out with that issue. After seeing this, I watched/read about staining everywhere I could find on the net. I couldn't find where I did anything obviously wrong. Though I did see a few places that seemed to prefer applying the stain in small batches over coating the entire surface and then wiping.
Background information
Materials
*Coffin and Top - cabinet grade pine plywood
*Borders - premium pine 1X4's.
*Minwax Pre-stain Wood Conditioner - applied with foam brush
*Minwax Red Mahogany Stain - applied with foam brush
Can I fix the streaking with another coat of stain?
Would I be better off with a roller to apply the stain on the base?
Any tips on staining before I begin the work of staining the base of my keezer?
Thanks for any help.![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
