If I am using a water based stain I usually raise the grain three times
using a a weak glue water solution.The glue holds the "whiskers" out so
when
dry and lightly sanded they are easily removed ..

I tried a new technique about a month ago, instead of the glue water
solution I tried two teaspoons of liquid viagra and water . That was a
month
ago and after a multitude of sandings the grain has still not settled
down.
As a matter of fact even worse the grain direction has changed from
horizontal to vertical.... mjh

ROTFLMAO ... you should try stroking it in the opposite direction. BTW,
Cialis may gives you more time and options, or so clam the last few hundred
e-mails.
