So... I build a beautiful oak bookcase and stain it with MinWax red oak stain, and it looks great. Then, I begin to brush on MinWax polyurethane. The stain becomes streaky and I notice that the brush is discoloring to the color of the stain. Cleaned the brush, and notice that the stain is actually coming right off the wood.
I have two things to say:
1. AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH !!!!!
2. Any help is greatly appreciated.
