Need some experience.
I'm a beginner and just put an oil based stain (medium dark on red oak) on a couple of night stands. While doing so a couple of drops of sweat landed on the surface. A day later, I lightly sanded the area and re-stained. I think I must have made a mistake because the reworked area is now lighter in color than the rest of the top. Not sure how to fix it. Do I wait and add another coat to the area? Do I sand the entire surface and re-stain?
