Hi all,
First, let me say, that I am a complete newbie. My husband and I spent all summer building a bar (pine). Then we stained (using Minwax Gel Stain). A bit blotchy on the pine, but nothing I can't live with. The real problem, however, is wherever we applied the Minwax Stainable Wood Filler in a joint, over a nail, etc., the stain did not take. It stands out like a sore thumb! The entire project is now ruined, where we have nickle sized white blobs everywhere there is a nail. I had sanded this down, yet it seems wherever the stain filler touched the wood, it will forever repel the stain.
I have not Polyed yet. Is there anything I can do to save my project?
Thanks in advance.
