Pre-Stain Wood Condition?
I am going to stain the wood table again. I saw an uneven wood at the top of the table. Can I use Pre-Stain Wood Condition before using the stain again

The purpose of wood conditioner is to slightly seal the wood so it will accept stain more evenly. This is only needed with soft woods like pine where the soft or open grain areas will absorb more stain than the tighter/harder areas. It isn't normally needed with veneers or previously finished wood. Wood conditioner always makes the stain color lighter as it somewhat prevents the absorption of stain.
