TEST FIRST.

Hmmm. I thought he stated that he did test.

Get Bob Flexners book on Understanding Wood Finishing. Look in Amazon
and Chapters if you like.

As he points out -- there is a time and a place for a _stain_ this was
probably the place.

I have Flexner's book and immediately pulled it out to quote portions of the
text to help the OP. Actually, I did not find anything that the OP did
wrong. I'm not sure what you mean by "_Stain_". The OP used analine dye
which is a form of stain.
