Brought some dirt cheap wood from Lowe's, not even tagged as to what it was, for a garage project.Exiting pieces are ash, this has same type of grain but softer. Used sanding prep liquid, let it sit, wiped it off, applied stain, and it came out looking extremely blotchy. This has never happended before.
Dont' want to buy a piece just for this project. If I use shellac to seal it, and appliy Minwas stainer and sealer (not jell) on top, will it still have blotches?
