I just got finished stripping a Birch door and want to match existing stain. I know from past experience that chemically stripping wood has it's merits and pitfalls.
One of the pitfalls that I hope to avoid is the stain coloring unevenly. What is the most forgiving type of stain? Gel, oil or something else?
I have a feeling that the stain will soak in differently, depending on how well the stripper removed the deep down varnish.
It looks good, but trouble may be lurking beneath the surface. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
