I applied Minwax stain on an interior door using a foam brush. I didnt
wipe off excess stain, however, thinking that it would be absorbed by the
grain. Needless to say, that didnt happen and now there are shallow
"pools" of dried Minwax on the door. I tried steel wool and a palm sander
to get this gunk off but neither worked. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The gunk will probably just gum up paper quickly. Try a card scraper to get
the majority of it off, then sand.
