This is NOT, I repeat NOT a problem for me; just curiosity: I brushed on
some oil modified Bonakemi DriFast stain onto filled-pore red oak. I
wiped it off after a couple of minutes and proceeded to the next piece.
I glanced back at the first item I wiped off and there were a few tiny
bubbles of stain showing. I wiped them off and then a minute or so
later, a few more bubbles appeared. This isn't a big deal, doesn't
cause any problems, but I don't understand why the stain bubbles up out
of the wood after a few minutes. After the 3rd wiping it remained clear
of bubbles.

Just wondering what is the process by which wiped-off stain re-appears?
Capillary action? bad karma?

Seriously, though, can anyone 'splain this?

It's the stain oozing back out of the pores of the oak. Don't flood the
stain on and wipe down faster, i.e. less soak time. Also constant or
dropping temperature and working out of sunlight is recommended. You should
also consider spraying on the stain.

Also, ideally the stain and the wood should be the same temperature.

Dave,

You are using a fast dry stain and finish, why?

temp was between 60 and 65. again, Rumpty, this caused no problems. I
just rewiped the surface twice and all the oozing cleaned up. I'm just
curious what makes the material come up out of the pores in a few places.

the name of the product is Bonakemi DriFast stain (it's oil modified).
It doesn't REALLY dry too fast. It does allow for top coating a lot
quicker than Minwhacks, and it is compatible with water borne floor
finishes as well as poly and all the other finishes. It's a great
product. I've seen Minwhacks stain come back up from the pores of oak
after a little while also. Just curious; not concerned.

Ya that's common with Minwax and other oil products such as Watco in red
oak. BTW I spray hydrocote resistane over Minwax 2 hours after staining,
it works well.

Just curious; not concerned.

OK.
