You shouldn't have any problem staining it evenly with water based
stain. Whether brushed, sprayed, or wiped on (and wiped off).

All,
I am looking for advice on the best way to stain a large surface. I
have a fairly large table top to stain. I want to avoid
splotches/uneven appearance. I am leaning toward spraying the stain
vs. using a brush, roller or rag. The stain I will be using is
necessarily water-based. (The final finish is a water-based poly....)
Do I just do it in manageable sections or flood the entire surface
and wipe up with rags quickly?

I have succesfully stained smaller project but a table top is going
to offer a totally new experience for me.

Thanks, as always, in advance....
