I used a Minwax Red Oak stain on some oak and it didn't turn out red enough. Attempts to stain over that with Red Mahagony stain, which is deeper, hasn't deepened the color at all. I'm guess that it's due to the sealer that Minwax incorporates into the stain. Short of sanding it down, is there anyway to penetrate the sealer in the first coat? I suppose that I could use a toner over it...
