After many months of delay, my shop addition is almost done. I have new plywood floors that I would like to stain rather than paint or leave unfinished. I have tentatively settled on a Miniwax oil-based stain, and the plan is to first use an oil-based pre-stain, then the stain, then something to give a bit of protection. Applying the stain over a 500 sq ft area will be tedious, but doable....but I'm wondering about the best way to then wipe-off the excess after it soaks in for 3-5 minutes? Seems like to too big a job for clean rags.... Would love some ideas on ways to apply and wipe-off excess stain, while still keeping the "wet-edge"...
Thanks,
Izzy
