You may want to consider using GF's Wood Stain instead. And also regarding softwoods, an alternative technique instead of using Pre-Stain Conditioner is to add 10% High Performance to the Dye Stain. This will add enough solids to even out the finish and will lock in the color to reduce color pull when you apply the first clear coat. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\"\u003eDivide your project into manageable sections: top, side, drawer, door, table seam.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\"\u003eApply 1-2 coats.

Dye Stain penetrates the surface fast; if not enough stain is used, the surface may dry too quickly, causing an uneven appearance. Stain one section at a time. Immediately wipe off excess evenly with the grain using a cloth or high quality paper towel before starting the next section.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpray application: Before spraying, strain topcoat through a fine-mesh filter. Spray wet films at 3-5-mil thickness. HVLP: 1.1mm-1.3mm spray tip, medium air cap. Verify tip sizes with your equipment supplier. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/generalfinishes.com\/media\/1098\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" data-entity-type=\"media\" data-entity-uuid=\"54109d67-1336-4a9c-b1ed-f8762e5f0989\"\u003eSee our general guide for spray tip sizes\u003c\/a\u003e. Wear a full filter respirator (NIOSH\/MSHA approved) and work in a ventilated space. Keep your gun at a 90° angle, 6-8\" from the surface. On large, flat areas, use wet, even patterns 6-8\" wide. For narrow surfaces, reduce the fan pattern to 2-3\" wide to reduce overspray. Overlap each pass of stain 50% for even coverage. If coverage is even, there is no need to wipe. If you have issues with uneven coverage, wipe back the excess with an absorbent cloth. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/generalfinishes.com\/node\/1967\/\"\u003eVisit this FAQ for more information on spraying techniques\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/generalfinishes.com\/faq\/how-spray-water-based-finishes\"\u003e.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'times new roman', times;\"\u003eDry 2+ hours between coats in ideal conditions: 70°F\/20°C; 50-70% humidity.
